Day 44 Tuesday 26th July

We left Pt Hedland reasonably early and made our way to Roebourne. We travelled through some very flat country, still mainly cattle stations in this area. We crossed  quite a few creeks and rivers and the landscape was quite green but the red dirt also was still with us. We visited the Tourist information centre at Roebourne which was located in the old jail and had a museum in the old cells. The staff at the Information Centre told us about the roads into Millstream National Park so we could make some decisions about what we would do. Heather, Lyn and myself visited the museum while the boys chatted. We decided to continue onto Karratha and stay there for the next 3 nights and do a day trip into Millstream rather than take the caravans over the dirt roads again. We settled into a lovely park at Karratha and did some washing and shopping. Lyn went for a run and the boys helped a lovely lady change and fix her tyre. Unfortunately, Steve broke a filling chewing on a Mintie and had to visit a dentist to get it fixed so his afternoon was not so pleasant.
