BATTERIES!!!

Just as well we had decided to stay a week at Karratha as Wayne had to get a tyre valve replaced and also we could not start the F truck this morning he went back to the auto electricians to get the battery recharged and checked.  All seems to be OK??  Go figure!

Saturday we took a drive to the northern end of town to see the beach!  Walked up the sand-dune and found this view - no beach for a swim.  Looking back over to the Burrup Peninsular.

This is the Karratha Hospital underground to protect it from the cyclones that occur in this area.

Loved these three sculptures set in round-abouts along Dampier Road.

The township is the hub of the mining area throughout the Dampier-Karratha and local mines and has  large industrial businesses to service all.  New multi-level apartments plus many modern mining camps that then have old closed down camps throughout the Dampier and Karratha area.
