Barradale Rest Area (between Karratha & Exmouth)

We weren't sure how far we would travel today as we hadn't decided where to stop.  We are due for a free camp as our budget is getting blown out big time!  If anyone is interested we are spending just over $200 a day.  Thanks to the mining boom in this area (and school holidays) we have been paying anywhere between $50 and $70 a night for a site!

We ended up driving 340kms to Barradale Rest Area.  It was a very large free camp with plenty of space and the toilets were pretty good too!  The grey nomads love these free camps!  We have taken the boys dvd players, ds and phone games off them so they entertained themselves in the car with the their books only.  And I must admit, they have been very good.

The boys spent the afternoon playing in the dirt with their monster trucks and creating a mine site while Jason and I had a well deserved beverage!
