Pearls On Wheels

It is all about trucks, very big trucks and mining today. Sea salt harvest at Port Hedland.  Coal and iron ore colour this town. We encounter many road trains for the first few hours in the road. Grey nomads are sharing the road, too. Red dust coats the road houses and the plants. We visit Dale's Gorge at Karijini National Park. I have posted a separate blog of the wild flowers in this area and around the Park Visitors centre.

Gentle perfumes wafting through the air as we rode through Karijini National Park signalled the presence of flowers.  There are carpets of plants with tiny flowers and other shrubby flowering plants. This is a treat.  We have seen very few flowers during our journey from Sydney.
