Roebourne 09



September 21st, To-day we drove to Roebourne, which was built after the cyclone destroyed Cossack. A train track was built between Roebourne and Cossack, originally using horse drawn carriages, to move supplies between the town and the port at Cossack. The visitors Centre is in the old goal, so we looked through the old goal while there. Its hard to imagine that this building was in use up to 1984, when the new Roebourne Regional Goal was built out from the Town. We had dinner at the local Tavern, just across the road from our Caravan Park at Point Samson and the meals were excellent. We are all packed up and ready to leave in the morning for Nanutarra Roadhouse and on the way we will drive into Karratha to look the Town over, as this is the place we had originally intended to stay.
