Australia: Cleaverville Beach

On Wednesday I headed north from Millstream-Chichester, back to the highway and civilisation. I stopped in Karratha, home to the biggest shopping centre outside Perth (which only goes to show how empty the rest of Western Australia is), where I knuckled down to shop for my forthcoming Pilbara bushwalk. Unfortunately I couldn't get my lamp fixed, but everything else fell into place, and after spending a small fortune on food, bush gear and various other bits and bobs, I drove east of Karratha to Cleaverville Beach.
