Anna Plains Station to Newman

An early start today - we got up 5.45 and had the camper packed up and were ready to leave just before 7am. It was an easy drive with little traffic and no other vehicle insight for the first 60 kms. Silvie prepared breakfast the night before and we were hoping to get some coffee at Sandfire Roadhouse but no luck …….instant only. So we just kept going until we reached Port Hedland around 11.30am for our coffee. Needless to say the breakkie was already gone by then 🤣.
The drive from there was pretty boring until we reached the Hamersley Ranges ….sadly we also hit a traffic jam there, but at least that gave us some time to enjoy the scenery. We initially planned to make it past Karijini, but in the end kept going until Newman and decided that if we keep going like we have today we can make it back home by Sat night - one less day until we get to cuddle our doggies.
We are camping tonight at the beautiful Newman carpark (also called caravan park) and Silvie cooked the beautiful Salmon we were given from some nice fellow campers at Anna Plains. It was absolutely delicious and certainly has been the highlight of our carpark camping experience. We have done 825km today. Silvie is very happy about the carpark situation as there was no need to reverse, has clear marking where to park and as a bonus it is levelled - win win win 😂
Off to bed soon and up early tomorrow……next stop Paynes Find 🤞🏻.Read more
