Harding Dam and Point Samson

Today we decided to go and check out the Harding Dam, which is where we get our water from, It is about 67kms away and 27km of that on a really rough metal road. This is the road between Karratha and Roebourne.


And the road between Roebourne and Harding Dam

We arrived to a most picturesque setting and had the place to ourselves, the place was really clean and had tables under gazebos and free gas bbq's and a cool playground for the kids. Sean Set about cooking lunch on the barbie, sausages and steak sandwiches, while I set up and tried to keep the flies (which were very persistent) away from me. I was getting really annoyed with them so I ended up putting kahaylas dolls blanket on my head to give me a bit of peace.

We had a really nice lunch and went for a drive up to the dam lookout, and it was amazing.



Then it was off to Honeymoon cove at point Samson on the way home, the water was beautiful and clear, but something little kept biting/stinging us, not sure what it was, maybe some sort of sea lice or something.

I saw this car and had to take a photo, go the kiwis!!!!!
Janaya played for quietly by herself for ages, she even put her head down for a bit, I thought she was going to fall asleep, ahhhh cute....

You cant have a day at the beach without burying someone!!!

Sean took Tayden and Kahayla for a snorkel out deep round the rocks while I swam with Janaya.

It was a really relaxing way to spend a Sunday.
