Last weekend on Saturday we decided to take a drive to Dampier and have some lunch there. It was a beautiful day - we're getting used to the heat now- not feeling it quite so much! Here is a picture of the kids in Dampier.

We then drove to the Burrup Peninsula to see where Clinton works at Karratha Gas Plant. I couldn't believe how huge the plant is, it seems to go on and on. I also can't believe how far Clinton has to ride his bike to work and how steep the hills are (in the heat too).
Harrison was fascinated by the flame at KGP.
We then drove to Hearson's Cove, a beach very close to where Clinton works. The kids loved the opportunity to cool off and have a swim with Dad.
The beach at Hearson's Cove is made up of shells instead of finer sand. You really need to wear thongs when walking on it as it's pretty rough on your feet!
Then on the way home Clint suggested we get a photo of the kids on the salt flats because they look like snow. There are some sculptures on these particular salt flats - like this one that says 'Karratha'. Not sure if we were allowed to walk on them but it made a cool photo!
On the way in and out of the salt flats the ground is thick with red mud - that is very spongey and we discovered you can sink into it (it's boiling hot too). We had a bit of laugh when one of my feet completely sank, instead of helping me, Clint took photos of it! Haha!
Our feet afterwards!
Harrison's ingenious plan to wrap nappy sack bags around his muddy feet to not get mud through the car...it actually worked quite well. As you can see, Sienna conked out on the way home, it was a very fun and busy day.
