Onslow WA

Hi everyone, here we are in remote Onslow,by the sea.  It is a small dusty town, mainly filled with people involved with off-shore gas & oil exploration. There are a lot of miners accommodation camps here. Last night 2 American workers rocked up to our van just to say & hi & welcome!  The gentleman on my left is William K.Cooper,(from Mississippi ) site manager of the Wheatstone project for the LNG, & his Texan colleague, an engineer based in Perth.  Both lovely gentlemen & very friendly.  It was lovely to meet them.


Conveyor belt along jetty to load salt on to the ships.

These are tiny green budgies, there are lots of these flocks around here

Salt stockpiles, with conveyor belt that takes it to the wharf

Our dusty campsite!

War memorial next to our site.

At the war memorial, a beautiful sculpture of Diggers' hats, sitting on the bench.

Memorial for sailors lost at sea.

Now we know why we have started glowing in the dark!


The beach- we decided not to go for a swim.
