Port Hedland

Port Hedland isn't a pretty town, but plenty going on as far as Iron ore is concerned.
Stayed at the  Pt Cooke Caravan Park, probably the best spot in the town, on the beach, nice cool breeze off the ocean.

We were lucky enough to park next to Outback Paddy, a travelling Irish musician, who's now been here for 30 years, so I guess hes one of us.

So a sort of Irish Slim Dusty, but not quite as tall!

So he was a bit of fun, a very interesting fellow, loves his new country Australia and the outback, writes and performs his songs around the country.

And and he got me, managed to get $20 out of me for one of his Cds.
