Dongara

It's been a quiet few days in Dongara. The ensuite part of the park has been pretty quiet but the cabins and powered sites have been booked out most nights. It suprises me as it only costs $27pn for the ensuite and they really are nice.

We've had the boat out 3 times, but it's pretty open out there so we don't venture too far, therefore we haven't seen many fish. I actually think Dongara might be an old aboriginal name for "place with few fish"!! We just seem to catch enough little ones for a bit of bait in our crab pots and then the crabs are a bit scarce too. Russ came home with 4 last night but at least they were a decent size.

The other night we had a pleasant suprise. A large motor home pulled in on the site behind us and asked if we were Jan and Russell Sessions-it was a woman I "know" from the recipe club-Pat, and her husband Chris. We were to catch up with them in Denham, but they left Perth late and decided Dongara was far enough so stopped at the park. It was only after they had been allocated their site (right behind us) that they thought to ask if we were in the park! We had a very fun night getting to know them sitting outside over a few drinks. W'll be seeing them again in Denham in 3 days which is good.
