The starting point

The starting point

Wednesday 25 November 2015

25/11/15 Off again

 Today we packed and headed up the road again . Destination for the next week is Port Denison / Dongara . We thought Geraldton was windy , well Port Denison / Dongara is the same . Fortunately for us , we made it by 12 noon , before the wind started to get strong . We found probably the most sheltered park and picked our site & set up .
  Lunch out of the way , we went for a drive around town to orientate ourselves . There are many old buildings in Dongara , the library , courthouse & police station , and old convent - The Priory is now a hotel and accommodation .
 Port Denison is on the south side of the Irwin River and Dongara is on the north side . Port Denison has the boat harbour and crayfish processing factory . The population is approx 4,000 and has high school and primary school .
 The weather for this time of year is normal for here - wind , wind and more wind - it was blowing at about 40 - 45 klm/hr and gusting to 55 !!
 The only photos from today show what the conditions were like - good for some things !!!






 These two guys were having a great time , getting pulled along at great speeds , also getting a lot of air - some of their turns got them nearly 8 metres off the water !!
