We will enjoy staying here for a few days before making our way down to Perth. We have seen so much along the way and are certainly enjoying our travels. It is snowing today at our home in Tassie, so the warmer weather is certainly a change. I am sad we missed the snow though !!! We have loved the wildflowers that are just starting to bloom down the coast. I will show you my pictures of some of the flowers on another post.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2523\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2523\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/img_1532.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2523\" alt=\"There are goats everywhere south of Carnarvon\" src=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/img_1532-300x202.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/img_1532-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/img_1532.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2523\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">There are goats everywhere south of Carnarvon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2525\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2525\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/WA-north-coast-018.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2525\" alt=\"Exmouth\" src=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/WA-north-coast-018-300x149.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/WA-north-coast-018-300x149.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/WA-north-coast-018.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2525\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Exmouth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2524\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2524\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/fishing_boat-exmouth-prawns.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2524\" alt=\"Fishing boat at Exmouth... we bought some yummy fresh prawns here for dinner\" src=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/fishing_boat-exmouth-prawns-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/fishing_boat-exmouth-prawns-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/fishing_boat-exmouth-prawns.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2524\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fishing boat at Exmouth&#8230; we bought some yummy fresh prawns here for dinner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2526\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2526\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travel.ripple.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/WA-north-coast-005.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2526\" alt=\"A typical Port Hedland car.... most people here are involved in the mining industry.
