at Karratha and Sandfire roadhouse.
Karratha and Dampier are big mining and oil/gas towns. We saw long trains of red dirt heading to the port and the gas plants had huge flames coming from the top of big chimneys. We also had some trouble trying to park our caravan at the first caravan park because of the height of the kerb - our caravan hitch seems to be quite low and the kerb was very high. We had to go to a different caravan park where the guy cut off the bottom of our tow bar dropper with a saw. It was very loud and there were lots of sparks.
At Sandfire we had a guitar jamboree with some other people who were staying at the roadhouse. They invited us over after dinner and we sang some songs. Their names were Steve and Shirley and they played some music gigs on their travels. He was a good guitar player. He played some funny songs - A song about a man named Sue, the music man, a Rolf Harris song about Paddy the Irishman and a story called Rindicella with all the words mixed up. He also played some songs by Crowded House and Billy Joel, and a song called the Cats in the Cradle which Dad thought was by Cat Stevens but it's not.
There were also heaps of strange animals at Sandfire, including a huge bull, a camel and hundreds of peacocks.
