Yesterday was spent relaxing at the station including a close look at the huge collection of dead cars lying around. It seems that when they stop working people just walk away and leave them where they are to eventually be used for parts. In addition to cars we found a couple of motorbikes and a broken helicopter. Then the day was finished with happy hour again with the stations owners and their staff.

Today Pat, our traveling companion, and I walked walked out toward the railway line that runs across the back of the property from the mine in the back corner of the station. To put that all in perspective the property is 400,000 acres and has about 3500 head of cattle, their are also 3 railway lines, phone repeater towers, etc. Very interesting and an enjoyable place to spend a few days.

Then it was time to pack our van and head into town, Port Hedland, that is. A bit of shopping, fuel and water then off again heading north. I nearly forgot a couple of phone calls as we got proper phone coverage for the first time in days.

Our camp for tonight and the next few tonight's is at the DeGrey River camp. Two other couples from the station are also here and tomorrow our travelling  companions Carrol & Pat will arrive. The other of our trio, Jill, has headed south from Karajini.
