Port Hedland WA

Arrived in Port Hedland. Did some shopping, Then back out to South Hedland. and Kalari’s yard, which will be home for awhile. We are quite well set up here, all undercover, with exta shower, toilet and room, if  Chris finds he can’t sleep in van during the day.  He’s doing well at the moment, snoring his head off after driving all night. Poor bugger.

They have a great aquatic center only 15 mins away, so go in when we can. The pool is a constant 30deg all year round and open till 7pm. During the day it is still very hot around 38 most days. So I tend to stay indoors, reading ,cooking and playing with photos on computer, keeps me amused while  Chris is away driving or asleep.  Those that have been to Port Hedland know it is hot ,dry and dusty. RED Dust.!! So doesn’t have a lot going for it during the day.

However the sunsets are beautiful and as night falls, the place turns into a  wonderland of lights.

We  went into the markets last Saturday night, and were surprised at the hundreds of people there.

I guess enjoying the cooler evening air, although I was still sweating. We had snapper and chips in the park, on the  waterfront, and a bit of fun with a crocodile  ( a stone one)Finally I’ve brought this blog up to date. Not sure whats ahead during our stay here, but no doubt I’ll be out with my camera soon, and have more to put on. If you have been following us on here feel free to add any comment, I welcome your thoughts.  Cheers till then. Merelyn.
