Tuesday morning saw us tidying up the van, having a last look at the delightful DeGrey River and heading off, next stop Port Hedland. We arrived just before midday, had a look at the harbour which is one of the busiest in Australia, and made some phone calls. Next came the visitor centre which like the rest of the town is showing the benefits of royalties for regions with assistance from BHP. It is 20 years or thereabouts since I was last here and the difference is remarkable, new buildings everywhere and tourist friendly stuff aplenty. So we shopped, watered and fuelled then went looking for a campsite. By then it was dark, we couldn't find the road despite the efforts of our gps and when we did find it couldn't find the campsite. So we headed for the golf club caravan park arriving at about 7.30 pm, which is very late for us to be setting up camp etc. Thus you now have my excuse for not doing a blog yesterday. 
Now today we headed back to town with just a few little things to attend to, but didn't leave until about 3pm. However we are now settled at the Charlie Parker Rest Area on the Yule River. The river is pretty well dry with just a few pools of water but it is still a nice spot. A few other vans are here including a couple that we have met along the way.
