Kooljamin

I have never been so eager to get away from a family in all my life! I know I shouldn't be saying that but if you were here you would be saying the same thing!  Good riddance!

It took us about an hour to get to Kooljamin from Middle Lagoon. This place is definitely more "my" style and caters for the luxury camper. They even have a restaurant but strangely enough they are not licenced, much to our dissappointment!

They have two beaches here, one you can drive on, swim and fish and the other one they only recommend fishing as the currents are too strong. Jason couldn't wait to get the car back on the beach so off we went for an afternoon of lazing in the sun. We played soccer and collected shells.

We then went to the western beach and this is where you really get to see the red cliffs against the white sandy beach. It is spectacular! I'm not sure if you would see that anywhere else in the world!

On our second day here we actually slept in till 7am (which is very late for us!) We drove to One Arm Point which is an aboriginal community at the top of Cape Leveque. We had to get a permit to enter and because it was blowing a gale, swimming and fishing were out so we headed to the Hatchery. This was really cool and the boys got to feed the turtles, barramundi and nemo fish. We even saw a 3 week old turtle!  So cute!

We headed back to camp for a lazy afternoon. We indulged in an ice cream and the boys played tackles in the grass. A new family arrived from Tasmania so the kids had some new friends. These kids were well behaved (and fully supervised!) so I didn't mind them playing together.

Off to another camp tomorrow called Quondong Point before we start to head south again. I better enjoy the hot weather while I can before it starts to get cold again. It's hard to believe we have been on the road for 9 weeks, it has gone so fast!
