Hard to believe we have been here in Port Hedland for 9 weeks now, and what’s even more unbelievable is I’m quite happy here. Chris is back carting copper out of Telfa mine and back here to Port. So is doing an average of 16 hrs, 6 days a week. I also have been given about 20 hrs cleaning a week. Certainly no time for boredom.
When we arrived here, there seemed to be a problem with the gearbox in the car, had it looked at in town and sure enough it needed to go down to Karratha.
Thankfully the gearbox was replaced under warranty, although we were without our car for 5 weeks. Just as well we got here and not held up on the road somewhere, were able to use a work vehicle when needed. We had a trip down to Karratha, lunch, and a nice day out, when it was ready to be picked up.
Had a drink at the renowned Whim Creek Hotel, on the way home.
I haven’t taken many photos yet. The sunsets are beautiful, 
and the lights around Port are magical.
We have gone in for dinner on the waterfront a couple times.
They hold night markets, when there’s a full moon, and viewing the stairway to the moon is something not to be missed. 
When the wind and the heat of the day subsides, it’s very pleasant out of an evening.
Now that we have the car back I will go for a drive with the camera one day soon. Hope you enjoy seeing the update, till next time keep safe.
