Bit of a sleep in this morning followed by pack up, and then a walk around the original Millstream homestead, built when the area was a pastoral property. They have some nice wetlands, all fed by springs however a fire had gone through in the last year or so (planned?) and it had burnt too hot so the walk was ruined somewhat by that.
We headed out of the park via a cliff top viewing point, and then drove about 50 km to Python Pool where we had a swim and lunch.
We were in Karratha by mid afternoon where we stopped for some supplies and then out to Dampier where we were camping for two nights. Dampier is a small town, about 20 mins from Karratha. Rio Tinto ship some of their iron ore from there, and it is also home to the onshore activities of the North-west Shelf Project, a joint oil and gas project between BHP, Chevron, Woodside and many others.
The caravan park is right across from the water with a view to iron ore loading activities. It is tiny with about 20 sites and some great hot showers that we all took advantage off. It was so nice to feel really clean again!

The photo doesn’t do the beautiful scenery on the drive to Python Pool justice
