1 – 2 October 2022
We drove back to the highway from Eighty Mile Beach and turned south towards Port Hedland. We stopped at one of the many good rest areas to have a cuppa and reached our destination just on lunch time. The caravan park was close to the beach and shops, but very crowded and with the narrowest roads we have ever seen. Getting the camper trailer onto our site required a great deal of skill and patience. We really felt for the people in caravans who arrived after us – at least we had an empty site opposite to help manoeuvre onto ours.
After lunch and getting some washing done, we drove to do some grocery shopping and found an oval where there were some birds to photograph. Once everything was put away at home we visited another spot Mick had been told about – 6 Mile Creek. The mangroves didn’t yield the anticipated birdlife but it was a pleasant spot to spend some time.
We had planned to stay for two nights in Port Hedland, but our extra nights in Broome and Eighty Mile Beach meant we had to move on. We were glad in the end as the industrial feel to the whole area really didn’t have any appeal for us.
