Thierings on Tour

After a great time in Broome we were excited to explore the Dampier Peninsula that everyone has been raving about… 

Our first stop was Beagle Bay community with its famous Sacred Heart church made of shells. It was really pretty and the designs made me think of Mexican buildings, but it turned out that it was based on and inspired by a photograph of a German church. The building took 2 years to build and 1 year to decorate, which is unsurprising given the level of detail.

It was super hot and we were grateful for some shade while we cooked hotdogs out of the van for a quick lunch stop. 

Then it was a bit further onto Pender Bay.
The road leading into it is shared with a few other private blocks of land and it is narrow, long and very mogul like. You really don’t want oncoming traffic and luckily we avoided it for the most part…

Pender Bay was gorgeous! The views, the private spots and just being in nature again was a treat, let alone stunning red cliffs next to turquoise waters.

We drove down to the beach to explore it a bit and the girls loved having a splash in the water.

I just love watching them roam, dip their feet in and enjoying every splash and shell they find. We seem to have a lot of collected shells already.

It was a great way to finish the day and the sunset didn’t disappoint either! The colours are so vivid and beautiful, I don’t think I could ever get sick of this view.

Once the sun set and little lady Scarly was on her way to sleep, our big firebug Chris got the fire going and the big girls got to enjoy some stargazing with him. I also enjoyed finally having a bit more space and seeing a few shooting stars. A magical place to visit!
