Stop today was not a town but a caravan park on 90 Mile Beach.   You get to it by a 10 km dirt access road through a cattle station.  This is another of the stops you get told about by several people and thought it sounded good so decided to have a look. 

The road would be OK in a 4wd but was not fun on the Vstrom with the corrugations and big patches of sand.  Took me 40 minutes to do the 10 km after getting stuck twice in sand patches and nearly dropped it a couple of times and remember thinking this had better be worth it as I have to get back out yet.

Well it was worth it and more.  At the end of road there is a ramp on a crest and into view comes a neatly laided caravan park.  The park was excellent with grass and small shade trees for the camping areas. Even had a little shop and you could get takeway food at certain times during the day.  You walked over a sand dune and you were on 90 Mile Beach.  The park is near the start of the beach but to the right the beach disapeared over the horizon.  The tide was interesting as it was going out and the water was quite a way from the beach.  When I came back for another look when it was low tide and the water was about 1 km off the beach.  Interesting walk out there if you looked down, lots of little crabs, hermit crabs, sea snails etc to look at.  Wuffy and Kenneth went shell collecting and said they had something to show me later.

Then sat a the beach to watch the sunset and you got the staircase effect as the sun set due to the tide being out.  Very nice. There was almost a full moon and it was bright enough to walk around without a torch, so after cooking tea, went for a walk to watch the tide coming back in.  By this time is was only a couple of hundred metres off the beach.  Very beautiful to watch in the moonlight as the water worked its way towards to beach.  Sat and watched this for awhile and I was the only person on the beach then realised when a couple of fisherman appeared that I had been for an hour.  So thats the meditative new age part of the trip covered.

Was worth the effort to get here and now to tackle the road in the morning and head to Broome.  Told Kenneth and Wuffy, they have to help push this time if we stuck again tommorow.
