Dongara

This was a one night stop on our way south.

Dongara is a pleasant little fishing village/holiday destination that made the news in WA during the school holidays.
Unfortunately there seems to be a spate of attempted child abductions here at the moment. None have been successful so far thankfully.
It was at Dongara that the first attempt was made.

Apart from the beach, fishing, a river walk and a golf course there is not much to do here - makes it a good holiday destination really.

Beth filled in her time by keeping the Irwin River water and the Indian Ocean apart. She is an amazing woman.
I managed to catch a picture of her in action holding back there two great bodies of water.
We don't know what will happen now that we have left the area.


The golf course was OK and the greens were good once the mower hade been over them. For a small town on the coast you would have to say the course is a real bonus.

Four holes had trees strategically located in the middle of the fairway. That makes for interesting and challenging golf even if it doesn't fit with the modern rules of golf course design. At left is a picture from the 7th green. The hole is only 250 meters or so - and those trees are a pain. They don't really come into play if you hook your ball left into the scrub though!
