Pender Bay - Whale Song camp


19 July


I hadn’t planned on doing another post from the Dampier Peninsula but we have found ourselves a little gem of a place that just has to be shared.  Pender Bay, still about 120km north of Broome and the Whale Song Café and campground.  We've booked another two nights here, we just love it.  All I can say is … look at the photos and add the sound of the ocean, the warmth of the sun, the stillness of the bush ... J
Admittedly a bit off the beaten track ...

Didn't even need to get out of bed for this morning's sunrise!

Huge tides here too, about 9m.  Then within 6 hours the water's back up to
the base of the red cliffs.  Has to be seen to be believed and even watching it,
it's hard to believe.  That's Troopy on the cliff top over Phil's right shoulder.
The most unique bathroom - love it!  When "in use" you turn
the string of shells around so the other sign shows

    
Window on the right, mirror to its left.                                                   Feels like showering under a waterfall


There are only 7 campsites here so it's very quiet.  The owners have a house and little cafe further along the cliff, about a 5 minute walk.  They grow a lot of their vegies and make a small range of good, simple food.  We plan to have lunch there tomorrow.  Meanwhile, another sunset to look forward to tonight - cheers!
