Red Bluff - Just Magic

 WA Coast

Early June, 2012


Red Bluff, just north of Carnarvon - what a fantastic spot. Camping right on the beach, warm Indian Ocean, surfers off the Bluff riding perfect barrel waves. Eat your heart out Covy and Normie!


Well if ya gotta do the dishes Craigy, there are worse places you could be.
Footprints on the other side....

Caught it myself...just in front of camp.
                                                                              Loving the beach....and each other for a change
  
   Waterlogged and wrinkly after a day on the waves, but  very happy


Rowdy Moments - Week 6


The Good: Watching Riley playing with the "grommets" in the big surf at Red Bluff...absolutely pummelled but loving it. And, the Thread-fin salmon for tea, out of the sea and into the pan....yum.
The Bad: The 'little' Bronze Whaler in the face of the wave at our favourite body-surfing spot.
The Ugly: The Craig family feet after a few sandy, crusty weeks without shoes.







                                                                               You shoulda seen it...... Daddy caught one this big!!
Weather's yuk - school in the sand dunes  

Spa-sized rock pools...warm Indian Ocean...Hey, not a bad way to spend the afternoon

      














 Rock pool waterfalls....dramatic and delightful


                                                                     Magic Moments

 Rowdy Moments - Week 7


The Good: The kids finding the southern cross in the sky each night and marvelling at the Milky Way. Then holding our "babies" around the campfire until they fall asleep in our arms after an exhausting day on the beach.
The Bad: Having to resort to cask wine, coz we can't afford, or fit in, the nice bottled stuff.
The Ugly: Washing day after a week on the beach...pah! Oh well, all good things must come to an end....next stop Ningaloo Reef.......can't wait.
