Millstream Chichester NP

Another place we have never been before. It didn't disappoint. This beautiful NP is between Karratha and Tom Price.
Hats off the WA national parks there really do an excellent job.

Lots more beautiful wild flowers to add to my list of finds. The road sides driving in are a carpet of colour at the moment.

The Fortescue River runs through the park. Deep Reach is a stunning stretch of the river where you can swim. We were speechless the first time we went down for a swim. So much water in what is basically dry arid country driving in. We even bought back an old family camping tradition and went for a pre breakfast swim.

We were hoping to also visit Python Pool for a couple of days but it's in a different part of the park quite a distance away. The campground near it was currently closed and the road in very poor condition. So have given it a miss.

We had originally planned to continue south down the coast. But no vacancies for weeks at the places we really wanted to go. Apparently really cold down south and people trying to escape to warmer areas. We are still in shorts and tees.
So will head inland following the inland flower trails. Tom Price will be our next major stop.Read more
