Port Headland

Our morning started with a beautiful outback WA sunrise.

I am amazed every day by the wildflowers. The land is so harsh yet the beautiful flowers are blooming. Nature is incredible.

We stopped 80km up the road to stock up at Karatha. We try to shop local but the grocery prices are killing us. We saw Coles & I jumped at the chance. At home I would never buy meat at a supermarket because of the prices but in WA it's the cheaper option.

Roadside lunch stop. Fresh watermelon....mmmmm and then onto Port Headland for a look.

What an incredible sight to see. Iron ore residue & white Landcruisers as far as the eye can see, spotted with lines of white dongers. The people employed in mining really earn any $$$ they get. It's not a fabulous life. The accommodation is appalling. I wouldn't want it for my loved ones. Trucks in constant convoy...incredible!

Trains so long that you lose count of the number of carriages. 

A salt mine right in town...

Random mountain range? 80km to go to "our new home" as Charley says.

Sometimes I think that the random roadside stops are the nicest. There's plenty of space & they're quiet!
