Having escaped Port Smith early we thought we would head to Exmouth, this would take a couple of days driving. First night we camped at De Grey roadside with about 30 other caravans and headed out at 7am the next morning, we were only 82 k's from Port Headland and drove in to have a quick look around. We were not planning to stay as houses rent for $1700 per week so imagine the park fee's! While there we spotted Mum & Aunty Mar's dream, Salt, mountains of it!
The drive is beautiful if you are looking at the wildflowers, at times there is a sea of mauve, don't know what these are but there sure are plenty of them.
The drive through the Pilbra would drive you crazy if you let it, long unchanging roads, no towns, only the odd roadhouse where you will get ripped off, try $5.90 for a Chicko Roll and $4.25 for a small packet of chips, nothing like a captive audience! Thank God for the free roadside camps.
