11th & 12th days: long driving, Exmouth to Karratha, Port Hedland and Broome!
Tuesday 21 April
Cape Rang NP - Karratha
Lots of driving from Exmouth to Karratha. Long train, beautiful Pilbarra landscape: red dirt, rocky hills, and yellow savannah.
At Karratha we first try a caravan park but don't feel like spending the night right next to the road and exit to try out the other caravan park. Much better, under eucalyptus trees, swimming pool. A shower finally!!! and much needed water refill
The long train:
One of our favorite game:
Wednesday 22 April:
The longest stretch of driving we ever did in this trip: 850KM from Karratha to near-Broome (a shrotfall of 25KM).
With a lunch break at Port Hedland (ugly, industrious, mining town) where we discovered a lonely mining museum:
Then more road , up into the night. Missing our desired stop at Eco beach (never found the road leading to it, damn!). And counting the KM down up to a trucker's road right next to Broome (Roebuck roadhouse):
