Dampier Peninsula

James Price Point

Mid July 2012

This lovely remote hideaway 80kms north of Broome provided plentiful fish, magnificent sunsets, humpback whales, turtles, dolphins, sea eagles and long, lonely beach walks....but maybe not for long. It is also home to the controversial proposed $30 billion gas pipeline project.



The road gets wide, bumpy and red at the doorstep to the Kimberleys.

 Not bad for a free campsite - turquoise ocean, framed by red cliffs. The beach was all ours, with rock-pools filled with fish, crabs and octopus.

The locals are divided over the pipeline project - $1.5 billion in royalties versus a pristine environment...not hard to guess what we would choose 


Wipeout - a rare motionless moment from the running boy flattened by a bout of gastro that hit the Rowdy Roadtrip for six.







We're back....Nikita and Archie shake the bug and get back to their rowdy best.

Meanwhile, nothing was stopping the hunters and gatherers. Johan and Paul have "the best fishing day ever" bringing in a bag of fiesty salmon. 









Not sure what's bigger the grin or the fish!

What are you laughing at Archie? Oh, that funny nude dude in the background......well he's not coming into the tent reeking of fish.











A creative Nikita moment transforms dried sea sponges into a snowman. The latest in a host of Nikita Shrines crafted from rocks, shells, sand and mud that are dotted across the WA landscape



 Tarzan's back - Ahhhhh, ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhhhh

                           

 

 

 

 

Rowdy Moments - Week 11

The Good: Finding some wonderful free camping in the ridiculously regulated and restricted WA wilderness.....unless you're a miner that is.

The Bad: You know that wonderful Weber Q I was raving about? Well, I blasted my eyebrows and hairline off with it this week.....attractive.

The Ugly: The ugliest of the ugly...Nikita and Archie's team vomit inside the camper trailer in the middle of the night over all of their bedding and ours. Could have been worse. Fortuntately we were at the Broome Caravan Park at the time with washing machines on hand. Still it was a horror night. Stop laughing...I know we deserve it.

James Price Point beach was just beautiful. It was a shame Lara (bottom) and I were too scared to go swimming. We later found out there were no crocs, but better to be safe than eaten I guess.
