We did end up staying overnight at Tom Price, but we caught up on the news, watched a bit of the Commonwealth Games at the pub and did some washing, so it wasn't all bad. We also drove up the top of Mount Nameless, which is of the highest mountains in WA. As you would expect, the view was amazing. We could see the mine. Not an enormous pit like Newman, but it looked like the whole side of a mountain range was being removed. We drove along the Rio Tinto private railway service road to Millstream National Park and as this photo shows, the road was very close to the train line! And there were plenty of trains, so Alan was enthralled.
Millstream Chichester National Park was also a very pretty place, but the campground was very crowded, so we only stayed one night. We've been in Karratha two nights now and have explored Port Sampson, Cossack, Roebourne and the Dampier peninsula and today saw the Aboriginal petraglyths (stone carvings) and swam in the beautiful warm waters of Hearson's Cove.
