Dinasaur footprints and alarming croc news


We were on another timetable. We had arranged to meet Bill's parents and sister in Broome in early August for a Kimberly adventure - so it was time to put our foot down and get there. However the journey from Millstream to Broome was too long for us, so we stopped for 2 nights at a place called Cape Kenaudren. It was a funny spot - initially a bit of an uninspiring campsite although with a pleasant enough beach. We were however excited to be able to have a campfire after all the 'no fires' rules in the national parks. The next day Kate felt obliged to use the only internet connection we had found for ages to update this blog (in which we were not even in Perth) however Bill and Zara and Sash went off exploring the beach and discovered a wonderland of rockpools, white sand and what looked suspiciously like dinosaur footprints but were probably just cool shapes in the rocks. Back at camp, Kate chatted to the ranger and asked about salties in the area. He told her that yes, there were plenty including a resident monster. He also told her that salties were all down the coast and that two salties had been shot last year near Exmouth! Yikes. It's a good thing nobody mentioned that before we spent endless hours snorkeling and swimming there...
