Week 24. 40 Mile Beach - Cossack

Left Exmouth and off to 40 Mile beach, spent 2 nights and had gale force winds. The tent was pitched on the edge of a slight cliff and the dust went every where. I had no idea that soft red dust could get to the places it did. The wind was forecast stronger for Wednesday so we upped and left for Millstream stopping off at Cossack to visit the old port. Amazing that somewhere so busy and prosperous could last such a short time. Broome took over the pearling and the cyclones did the rest. The buildings are very well preserved if made of stone and as the wind was blowing well I could imagine how horrific a cyclone could be.
