| Where's my whine ? |
While we were camped at Cleaverville Beach we took a day trip out to Cossack, Wickham and Point Samson. We liked the look of Point Samson so booked a week for our return trip after we reluctantly pointed the Pajero south from Pardoo.
Point Samson is a real gem of a town with pristine beaches, tidy streets, boat ramps and marina, and grassy parks and views over the Indian Ocean.
There are two caravan parks at Point Samson one large one and a smaller one (only 20 sites) next to the Tavern and 50 metres from the beach. It was a difficult decision, but we decided on the park next to the Tavern and beach.

| Miserable weather! |
It may surprise readers that Point Samson is also at times - a fishing hot spot with creeks, causeways, marinas, rocky headlands, and sandy beaches. After a few unsuccessful forays at the creeks and headlands I was walking the hound along the beach next to the Park one afternoon and spotted what looked like whiting in the shallows? Out came the whiting popper gear and next day 17 nice whiting were resting as fillets in vacuum sealed bags in our freezer. This became a daily routine with the run out tide after lunch fishing best as the water was at least 5-10 degrees warmer in afternoons. Some of the best whiting on poppers sessions I have fished with multiple fish chasing every cast at the right time in the tide. The only downside to the fishing is that the sand flies at the beach are in squadrons and you need to be 100% covered in repellent before venturing down to fish.

| Out for our 31st Anniversary dinner |
The Tavern at the end of the Park has ½ priced beer every afternoon between 5-6 PM and is renowned for its Fish (snapper) and Chips (called “Famous Fish and Chips” on the menu). Despite having a freezer full of fish fillets, we dined out several times - sipping on a point of beer whilst eating Famous Fish and Chips and watching the sunset – its pretty tough up here! It was our 31st wedding anniversary while we here so that was a good reason for one of the dinners.
A real oasis on the beach between the red dust of Port Headland and Karratha.
