Point Samson to Onslow

It was another crisp, sunny morning as I left Port Samson:


This is the view across to my chalet, behind the white 4WD:


It was spacious and quiet, except for when the wind got up in the night and a tree branch scraped on the timtin roof.

It was a long straight road south, with yellow spinifex on both sides and the occasional row of hills;



After checking in at Onslow, I had a siesta before going out to explore along the waterfront.

Taking a photo of the Paparazzi Dogs:




Further along is the war memorial, with soldiers hats on a bench:





Onslow was the place where JL and his son developed a solar salt field. There are several others along this coast, but I believe this was the first one:


I could see the mountains of salt in the distance:


Salt is taken along a conveyor belt and a jetty, where it is loaded onto barges.

It was a lovely evening as I walked back, past the busy caravan site, where people were having little get togethers over drinks.

Looking out to sea:
