Port Hedland

We headed into Port Hedland the next morning. Well that is a place you can cross off your list of towns to visit, the only reason you would visit this town is for the reason we went in there, to refuel and pick up a couple of grocery items. If you are not driving a white car with an orange mine flag and wearing a fluro shirt, then you stand out like a sore thumb!  We thought you saw a lot of fluro shirts around Orange, but it is nothing like Port Hedland! After leaving Port Hedland we headed South East towards the Hamersley Ranges and Karijini National Park where we found a road side free camp for the night, so that we could head into Karijini early the next morning. The famous WA wild flowers are just coming into bloom at the moment, although not in full bloom yet, from what you can see at the moment you can tell it will look spectacular in a couple of weeks time.
