Port Hedland 2

PORT HEDLAND - Revisited
Saturday, 11th July.
We retraced Thursday's drive this morning as neither road from Marble Bar to the Great Northern Highway is accessible to us, one being 300kms of unsealed road, the other 75kms of sealed and 65kms of unsealed so because our vehicle is not 4WD, it was necessary for us to return by bitumen road to Port Hedland in order to proceed any further.  This time we are parked at the racecourse and as there is a gale force wind blowing, it is a bit dusty but we are parked on the perimeter of the RV camping area and have a grassed sports field behind us so we're not getting any dust blown in.   


The plan was to revisit Karijini but because of the strong headwinds we'd be fighting, we've changed the plan to head back the way we came, leaving tomorrow.  Though disappointing, it may be a good change as we've heard from a fellow traveller who's just been there that Karijini is packed to the rafters!
