Karratha to Port Hedland

It was about a 3-hour drive, so I set off quite late in anticipation. There was quite a lot of traffic, but we lost much of it at the turn-off for Coral Bay. I might call in there on the way back.

At Port Hedland I drove down to the waters edge to watch the big container ships going into the port:

As I had my lunch I talked to a Canadian girl who told me she had been working in port administration for 2 years.

I drove back along the road to the turn-off for Cooke Point Holiday Park, where I had booked a small cabin. The location is not brilliant, right near the entrance with lots of coming and going. But I enjoyed a Little Creatures as the sun went down and walked to the far end of the park:

The dunes are full of these bird flowers, which I remembered from my last visit.
