Just red dirt. 45 degree temperatures and a whole lot of water after all the rain we've had recently. To locals here, this is our beach.
Let's just say, even with the hot temperatures, that I wasn't keen to pull out the bikinis, sunbake and go for a swim. In anyway. But it was a refreshing paddle, wet your toes, nonetheless.
And the girls loved it. Which really is all it's about anyway.
Before moving here, you would have never seen me in such a place. Let alone catch me dipping my toes into water quite so dirty looking (let me just say it's not actually dirty, it's just stained red). Funny what 7 months of living in the Pilbara can find you doing. And being totally comfortable with!
A box of tissues and endless fun.

Happy summer beach days x
Beautiful writing, beautiful pictures. Such an amazing part of our country, makes me want to hitch up our caravan and go travelling. Love, love your blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kate, It is really worth visiting this part of the country. You really do feel the "spirit" of Australia when you're travelling and exploring here x
DeleteWhat a spectacular scenery- red ocean, blue sky, floating gum tree- beautiful! mel x
ReplyDeleteThanks Mel x
DeleteAll of the water around England is a sort of muddy brown colour, not dirty as you say, just the colour, but I have never seen such red water that I remember, looks as though you had a good time. xx
ReplyDeleteIt really is different to anywhere else up here!
DeleteWhen it's that hot I guess even red water will do! And a lot of water too, quite amazing. I was curious as to where in the Pilbara you lived. We lived in Exmouth for a year a while back, but at least there was the beach on those 45+ days!
ReplyDeleteOh lucky you, we're heading to Exmouth in few months time and we can't wait. We really miss the ocean living here x
DeleteThis looks like a wonderfully happy day! Cx
ReplyDeleteIt was!
DeleteWow! It looks so completely different to what I'm used to and I love that. Are there fish in there? xx
ReplyDeleteThere are, small tadpole sized fish! Sonia did you see my post above, you won the giveaway. You can thank my husband for picking your name out!
