We drove from Cape Range National Park to Karratha, which is the home to many miners. The community is male orientated to the point where they have an auto shop inside their shopping centre and they only sell men's reef shoes at the camping store. Due to it's location near the mines and the availability of housing - it is extremely expensive to buy or rent in Karratha, approx $1m for a average 3 bedroom house or $6000/month rent!?!?!?!
We slept at a free camp before heading to Port Hedland - an iron ore and salt mining town. We drove around, had breakfast and went grocery shopping before heading to Eighty Mile Beach.
