We wanted to stay longer in Karinjini for the beautiful hikes, but it was really too cold, so we headed up North in search of somewhere warm and calm to start a new chapter. No more holidays…. It was time to get started on a routine and schooling the kids!
After a few failed attempts, we finally settled in Embalgun, Middle Lagoon in the Dampier Peninsular. Embalgun is about 200km North of Broome. Most of it along unsealed dirt road. It is pretty close to paradise though; Deserted beaches, pristine waters, fish galore, whales, dolphins, turtles… Will Smyth started welcoming visitors to Embalgun a few weeks ago, so there isn't very much of a set-up yet, but the place is full of potential. Will is a "half-caste" from the stolen generation. He was taken away from his mother when he was 4 months old and brought up by Irish nuns and German priests. Will, his wife, Colleen, their 9 children and 29 grandchildren are the Embalgun community. They are warm, hospitable and tell the most amazing stories.
