Karratha

Windy in the morning at Cape Keraudren. We left site fairly early, but then went for a walk at the end of eighty mile beach, collecting shells, so only really left at 10am.

Went to Port Hedland to have a look and saw the ships being loaded and had lunch in the town. Didn’t seem to be too bad a place.

After lunch drove on to Karratha as not alot of other options. Arrived late, but got there just before the caravan park closed. Kids immediately went to play with a hoard of other kids.

Next day was windy and we went to see Hearson’s Cove which, with the wind blowing was full of kite surfers. Yet more shells collected. Went on to see the gas plant on Burrup peninsula, but unfortunately the visitors centre was closed.

Went on to Dampier and kids loved seeing a huge mine train come past, running to 277 trucks and so long you cannot see the front of the train from the rear.

After lunch in Karratha we went to Point Samson for a play, ice cream and fun exploring of the rock pools. Point Samson is the holiday resort of the Pilbarra.
