We had just flown into Karratha and after the
shock of the heat (40oC + )and high humidity we decided to go out for a
look around. So after a bit of driving our tour brought us to this area
to see the rock art and beach area |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| What could be better - a good looking beach |
Blue skies |
Mangroves |
But where's the sand - none just sea shells. So back
out to the Rock Art Walk |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| We start in midday sun! |
A difficult start - a rocky path! |
And this is really rock art |
But Karratha is an industrial town - steel columns often
stick up out of no where. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| A very interesting place - it's fascinating! |
Many boulders have carvings on them. Some larger some
small. |
A Sea eagle |
A stack burning in the distance |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Only a few trees - but the white trunk in great. |
|
Mid Summer - wet - perhaps a spring |
No rain here for months. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Typical - rock mountains |
This way |
and that |
The carvings up close |

A large canvas for rock art |
Art everywhere. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| This waterhole has been dry for ages - waiting for the
Cyclone season |
|
Finch's watering |
Waiting for there turn - or are they keeping a look-out. |

Walking out |
|
The site deserves better. |
