How do I describe today? Interesting to say the least, we have actually fitted quite a bit into the day. This part of the world is really the powerhouse of the Australian economy. Their are a number of ports here, I am not confident of the total but I think 3 - port Hedland, Cape lambert and Dampier plus a host of minor ports operational and being developed. Dampier and Hedland are probably the busiest in Australia and are amongst the busiest in the world. It is really a mind blower just to see it all, in fact every where you look there are things that are difficult to comprehend. Such ad today we went looking for the Cape lambert wharf, supposedly one of the longest, and on the way we passed the parking area for staff on the way to work. The numbers of cats was huge, the number of work vehicles also huge and I lost count of the number of buses to take said workers to work. We then had a look at point Samson and Cossack which were very early ports for the settlement of the north west.  Then drove down here to Dampier where we are on sconces in the caravan park.
