Nanga

Nanga Resort, what a place. I am constantly amused by what people class as resorts!! This was an old basic camp ground and rooms. The bonus being it was cheap and had free wifi. We ended up staying 4 nights, purely to wait out the weather and do school work. Plus it was near a lovely beach that I could do a few runs along.

To do school work we had to head to the Bull Pitt for wifi. Was a great spot to spread out all the school work. Once again the school work has done my head in. Tassie distance schooling is set up fabulously for kids on remote properties etc but not travellers. With some negotiating I think we have come to a compromise. We'll do as much as we can of their work and continue to educate our children on what we see on the road. The whole reason for this trip!!

The rain finally eased and we were able to go to Francois Peron National Park. Was a fun drive through the red red sand.   We left a little late, but got there in the end. Saw some beautiful cliffs and took some great photos. So good to be out and about. Then the sun started to set and we headed back to the van in the dark.

Whilst the rain stayed away we also went to Shell Beach. A beach entirely of tiny tiny cockle shells. The kids had a ball drawing in the sand, throwing the shells and doing shell angels.

Then we went to the look outs and checked out the views. Very clear torquoise water but didn't see any rays or sharks. Must have been hiding when we were there.

And that's pretty much Nanga for us. The Beesons left a day earlier than us and we decided it was time to try heading north and hope the roads were drying up.
