Karratha

21/06/2019

Yesterday we arrived in Karratha and thanks to the local council have managed to get a site (with a slab, water & dump point) in a disused section of the caravan park in the middle of town for $10 per night. Apparently this money goes to local community groups, win for them and a win for us. We got all of our washing done using MIA’s machine, in between loads (90 minutes) we had a look around town.

No matter where you look, this is a mining town which has so much camp style accommodation, clearly Fifo was or is huge here. There seems to be a bit of beautification work underway around Dampier which is the port about 20km’s out of town and also the home of the Red Dog monument and the home of his story.
