From the Maitland River we moved down to the Robe River Rest area after a quick trip into Karratha . At Karratha I visited a wonderful Craft shop with everything in it except what I wanted. I had decided to make more bags that hang over the arms of chairs for crafty people, but they didn't have any nice strong fabric to make them with.

Camp area at Robe river at dusk |
At Robe river we had been told of a nice spot on the other side of the road from the rest area and so we turned off down the track and found quite a nice spot. It was much more rockier than the Maitland with not such good access to the water.

Having water access is great as it means I can keep up with the washing and we can have regular showers, if water is restricted or not available we only shower every second day.

A fire also saves the gas for heating water as we then use the 12 volt camping shower that drops into a bucket of water. Anything that saves our drinking water is great. We also enjoy cooking on the fire for things like casseroles, roasts and corned beef all of which take a while to cook of course. Slow cooked meals always taste better cooked on the fire.
Continuing south we stopped at the Barradale rest area next. This was a huge area but there was no water in the Yannarie River . There were about 40 rigs etc camped there that night.
