Millstream Chichester National Park.

There were two options for the trip from Tom Price to Millstream Chichester. One was to follow the permit road which required viewing a promotional video by Rio Tinto and which followed the railway line. The second, more picturesque, was the public road, an equally good gravel road. We chose the second and were rewarded with some wonderful scenery through the Hammersley ranges.

Behind the grader!

We were sadly disappointed on our arrival to find that the Crossing pool campground no longer allowed caravans... A pity as it was shady and peaceful and had a welcoming, deep swimming place. We moved to the next option which was Milliyanha campground which was hot and dusty and as we drove in we were met by the camp host who suggested we not unpack anything as he was on evacuation alert, due to fires in the area. There was a lot of smoke about so we decided to move on to Karratha and then Dampier.
