Day 52-55 Karratha

On the road to Karratha we came across these Termite Nests.... some one with a sense of humour had put their hard hats on  them.. Stephen says "Even the termite up here suffer the strict indignity of O.H & S" (Notice the baby one).
Karratha now spreads itself and this picture was from the TV Lookout.
We were very lucky to stay with Irene and her family in Karratha (I met Irene in Perth doing radiation at the same time as me). Phil, Irene and their daughter Bridget, made us most welcome and it was a joy to sleep in a bed for a few days. Thanks again guys.
More wild life on the Burrup Peninsula. We went for a walk to find the Petroglyphs of which there are thousands on this peninsula....which I am sure you are all aware of with the battle royal going on with mining companies and their interests in the area.  
These are reputedly the oldest rock carvings in the world and it would be criminal if the mining companies got hold of this land and destroyed such history.
