Rolling Southbound out of Port Hedland on the Great Northern Highway we had loads of company, literally dozens of Road trains hauling Iron Ore and heavy machinery. Doubles, triples and “quads” nearly blowing us sideways at times. Everything here is stained red including our motorhome “Pixie” now.

Who gets the three gallons of hot water in the morning? Will we get hassled by the local authorities for camping in the wrong place? Will I get a chance to drink a beer where Crocidile Dundee did? Walk on a 747 wing? Ride a camel? What do you pack on a long adventure into the Outback? Pop tarts for sure! We...
