Trucks all lined up at Port Hedland prior to a cyclone recently. Chris (my ex husband) took and gave me this photo. Left click to enlarge it.
After leaving Broome and Derby about a week ago, we have been traveling down the coast stopping at places such as Port Hedland, Karratha, Exmouth, Dampier and Carnarvon before arriving at Kalbarri this afternoon. We will enjoy staying here for a few days before making our way down to Perth. We have seen so much along the way and are certainly enjoying our travels. It is snowing today at our home in Tassie, so the warmer weather is certainly a change. I am sad we missed the snow though !!! We have loved the wildflowers that are just starting to bloom down the coast. I will show you my pictures of some of the flowers on another post.
There are goats everywhere south of CarnarvonExmouth
Fishing boat at Exmouth… we bought some yummy fresh prawns here for dinnerA typical Port Hedland car…. most people here are involved in the mining industry. Our car and caravan looks a bit like this at the moment. At least you would not get booked going through a speed camera. Can’t read the number plate.A monument at Port HedlandDampier Salt …. Port Hedland operationsWe caught up with Chris for a couple of days in Port Hedland (my ex for those that don’t know him)
Red Dog monument in Dampier. “The Pilbara Wanderer”, Died Nov 21, 1979. We loved the movie, but it is such a sad story.
