What are we doing here?: Dash to the western most point of Australia

We ended up doing this little excursion far too fast, could have been done over numerous days, not only because it was 6 hour return journey of driving with at least half of that really rugged, but also because it was just spectacular. We started off with the van which we deposited at Carrarang Station. Oh my goodness, I can't believe a station could be so spectacular. It is its own peninsula. Mind you I have no idea what they are running on their station; apart from one horse we saw no other signs of anything agricultural. We had a waterfront campspot, our own private beach.

Then we continued on our way to Steep Point, the western most point of the Australian mainland. The journey was extremely lonely, hardly another car, as Steep Point is simply very remote. The road got narrower and sandier the closer we got. It was a bit freaky because it was literally single lane and with blind crests and I couldn't get head-on collision out of my mind. Amazingly when we were 10 km short of Steep Point there was a home. And we had to register at this home with the lady who has lived there for 18 years. The final 10km passed beachside campsites where we finally saw people again, and tents, only tents, you could not tow anything up here. The final few kms were a maze of sandy tracks with a few wrong turns....aghh, where is that point. I'm sorry that we flew past all this and didn't get out to explore and swim at the beautiful beaches (the sun was getting low as we arrived and we still had to get back). In hindsight we should have bought our tents up.

We finally made it back to Carrarang just after the sunset. Leaving Shark Bay yesterday, we had equipped ourselves with some fishing gear at Denham. Our first fishing attempts were here at Carrarang.
