Barn Hill & Porth Smith
















We travelled South about 100km to Port Smith and Barn Hill station for a week of R & R.


Port Smith is a caravan park on a lagoon that fills and completely empties twice a day. Some friends from Broome came (Nina & Geoff) who had a boat. Darcy and I went out fishing with them and had a great time pulling in some very sizable fish (sorry no photos you'll just have to trust me on thet one).


Barn Hillis a cattle station that has a very shady camp ground with real grass and even a bowling green! The beaches and rock pools were fantastic and almost deserted. We spent many hours each day in the water and met lots of nice people while we were down there. Roses the cattle dog has taken herself off on extended leave for the past 7 months and adopted us as her famly while we were there. Apparently she chooses a family when they arrive, and goes where they go, sleeps under the van and basically becomes one of the family. As soon as they start packing up she heads back to the caretaker and waits for another suitable family to arrive.
