Day 7 - Travel to Port Hedland

Today we pack up to head to our next destination.  We are a bit sad to go, but are looking forward to some warmer nights ahead.  Our plan is to stop at Indi Station., on Dad's recommendation, however, we decide that as we are passing by at only 12:30pm and we really need some supplies, we will push on to Port Hedland.  The kids are excited about the prospect of a pool and we are excited about the prospect of an unlimited time in the shower!!!!  So we check in to Black Rock Caravan Park, another mining park like the one at Newman so it is cheap but has all the basics we need.  We do a tag team down the street while the kids swim all arvo.  I finally get to update the blog as it is the first chance I have had since Newman.  It is now 9:45 and the kids are still awake so they obviously didn't swim for long enough!!!  Tomorrow...Eighty Mile Beach!!!

Cora, your treats have been just fantastic and they are still going, the kids think it is Christmas every time they open the esky for morning tea!!!

  2. Hi Guys
    Have been eagerly awaiting news of your travels. Sounds wonderful and exciting and wonderful. Getting a bit stinky in the PRADO I bet after a couple of days without a good long shower. xxThe Tinkys
