Prior to leaving Karratha we went to visit Jane and Robert at their work, at Atom, to say our goodbyes. We then went and stocked up on supplies before heading out to look at the Aboriginal petroglyps at Deep Gorge in Murujuga National Park, which is one of the most prolific Aboriginal art sites in the world. We didn’t leave Karratha until after lunch, so only drove down to the banks of the Fortescue River.

The next day we thought we would go and check out Onslow, which is a small town. On the way there, the termite mounds started to appear again, these mounds looked like gorrilla’s with their back to you and we saw lots of flocks of bright green budgies. Had a look around before heading out to another free camp heading towards Old Onslow, at 3-5 mile pool rest area, right on the banks of the Ashburton River.

Saturday we went into Old Onslow, which was pretty amazing. The town was degazzetted in 1925 and moved to its current location. We stopped on our way heading south to check out Rio Tinto's most western Iron Ore Mine site, the Anderson Bridge has been built over the mine road with a roadside stop, so you can view the mine trucks coming and going. We stopped the night at huge free camp Barradale / Yannarie, only to wake in the morning and most fellow campers had already moved on.
