Sunday 26 August – Well, as I tipped, there is very little to report today.

Travelled 291km to South Hedland where we are in the Black Rock Tourist Park.  The only bit of interest on the drive was the one specimen of roadkill today – a very big cow, which in itself is not unusual, but it was plumb in the middle of the road and was a definite road hazard.  The road traffic changed as we came south, what with the mines, we today saw several ore road trains with four trailers instead of the normal three, obviously delivering to the port here, and there are ore trains coming and going within earshot of the park.  We didn’t actually go into Port Hedland but came straight to South Hedland and managed to get an overflow spot at the park, so at least we have somewhere. In this park, overflow means that you get a spot on a square of grass which you share with (in our case) two other campers, and you need a very long power lead to connect to the one set of plugs on a wall a bit of a distance away.  No big deal.  And we’ve talked to our neighbours and they seem okay.

We were here by 12.30, so an hour later we’d set up, had lunch and were sitting outside in the shade with a nice breeze.  And that’s about it!!  I did a bit of hand washing, some embroidery, some research on what to see at Tom Price, Grant vegged out, we had numerous cuppas and basically just sat around.  After all, it is Sunday!  And no photos today.  We’ll see what eventuates tomorrow.
