Karijini and the Pilbara, Millstream, Western Australia

Karijini to Dampier via Millstream

Karratha, Western Australia

If you need to pick up supplies for your journey back to Dampier, be sure to stock up in Tom Price before you retrace your tracks back to Millstream Chichester National Park. This time, turn off for Mount Herbert and Python Pool on the opposite of the national park homestead precinct to enjoy the serenity of Python Pool. Alternatively, you can travel back via the Great Northern Highway to Port Hedland and supplies can be sourced from Auski Village when you leave the park. In Port Hedland, make time to view the massive iron ore ships which you can almost touch as they come in and out of Australia’s largest tonnage bulk export port on the high tide. Stay a night in Port Hedland or continue south. As you do you will pass Whim Creek, once a thriving town, now with just a hotel. The hotel is a ‘sister’ to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, both designed with steel from the same English company. Travelling this way you might choose to continue into Point Samson with accommodation available in this lovely little seaside village. Another option is to travel from Karijini through Tom Price to Nanutarra. Make a stop at Cheela Plains Station Stay for morning tea before joining the Northwest Coastal Highway. Alternatively, turn off to visit Onslow, a delightful coastal town with a beautiful boardwalk and War Memorial which the sun shines through on ANZAC Day. Accommodation options are available here. If you have more time, continue to a mini holiday on Thevenard Island. Alternatively, continue to return to Karratha.
