Oh, the scenery!!! In
some ways I’d love to ride a bike or walk along the highway, as there are photo
opportunities everywhere, and though I stopped frequently, I would lament at
the missed photos. Apart from the time
to stop, get the camera, take the photo etc which added not inconsiderable
minutes to my day, it was not possible to stop – no room to park the car off
road, or double lines (plenty of those) traffic etc. I did what I could – and just marvelled in the
beauty of the scenery.
Karratha is clearly a mining town – with men and women mine
and other workers in “high vis” clothing everywhere, and much of the road
traffic clearly mine vehicles with clear markings.
I drove through to Dampier, and came across the statue for “Red
Dog” – the dog that inspired the movie of the same name, based on a true story
of this amazing dog up here in the Pilbara.
I stayed on night in a caravan park and set off early the
next morning.
