James Price Point

It's hard not to love waking up to red ochre cliffs from just outside our camper window knowing the sun is only minutes from peering over the tops of them and beginning our day yet again on our marvellous western shores .

The sun played an important part of our lives here , obviously offering warmth and light but also to recharge our batteries now powering the two arb units one acting as a freezer as it looked like the cheap ebay solar regulator was not charging the batteries as it had been doing fine for months but no even worse possibly back feeding and draining at just over 1 amp which is significant in itself.

The fridge had been relocated to the camper in a shady location handy to the kitchen and was performing well to the end of today although the to deep cycle batteries had copped nearly 35 % more than their usual use with the extra fridge and now a few toys added as well , it looked like a good test and things being equal should continue indefinitely as long as we played it smart with adding water to the fridges and freezer as used not as 6 litres per hit ( after all beer should be drank cold hey !)

Morning cuppa's in the still brisk light of day were as tranquil as it be with three children around.

We made the most of the mornings cool tidings with homework all round with Shahla breezing through hers with great endeavour and Ej eventually caving in with formulas and soon had finished a good section , dash however dragged the chain as usual and was distracted at every comment by all if us but eventually did his set work.

The hard yards over for all ( yes it's a burden we hate most days!) we sun screened up for a swim down on the beach shortly after high tide .

We took the cruiser to a place just in view of camp and in the nice white sand amidst the rocky shores here and we spied several turtle tracks near the point and made a mental note to check them out tonight on high tide .

After a half hour of walking and swimming we were turned off but a few jelly fish around with warmer water approaching stinger season we played it safe and waded the edges to cool off and me getting my belly a little sunburnt after taking my shirt off , doh!

Then a quick drive around the lower beach area and discovered a full turtle shell close to camp which had been cooked up and no doubt eaten but the locals recently as it's inside shell still contained the skeletal bones.

A few ninja turtle like poses from dash and then we explored  the other bay nearby looking rugged but beautiful nonetheless .

After a quick dash up the track for phone signal which never came , we went back to camp and were reading all round except for Shahla and dash who played in the damp sand with trucks .

We watched the magnificence of the sunset by seaside yet again before tea and a fairly early night for all of us partly owing to the early sunsets .
