Im up in Karratha for 1 months work before i head to indonesia.
Now take the fact away that in this area has mines galore,men galore,its a high-vis world and more blokey than a freemasons party,
it is actually a pretty beautiful area.
The wildflowers are out in abundance, natural fields of flowering color in a desert landscape with red ranges surrounding you wherever you are. With the fantastic climate (28 everyday of winter and usually clear skies) it makes for amazing sunset and sunrise color's day in day out.
As i am only here temporariliy and the cost of renting a room is around a whopping 350 to 450 dollars (yes thats right,just for a room at a share-house) i shit you not,things are expensive up hear and the people that work up here can afford it.At every bloody house sits a brand spanking 4wd and a boat.
Anyhow,as rooms are to dear im camping out here and there at a few locations out of town, i'm getting really good at finding wonderful campsites in places people just don't seem to look.
And this is one of them at a river south of Karratha,I work 11 hours so its here after work for a soap up and swim,Cook a big feed,read a little then sleep. Get up and do it all again,6 days a week. Not much fun but calling these spots home i feel pretty lucky.
Im gonna be pretty ready to hit the town in bali by the time i am finished here.
