… but overarching all of this, the Pilbara’s a rockstar for me because of its story ancient and modern, from the cradle of life to modern industry). Port Hedland, Dampier, Tom Price, Paraburdoo, Newman, Marble Bar and Nullagine have strong characters, interesting histories and red dust in their veins.
Karlamilyi (Ruddall River) National Park and out to the Canning Stock Route. The Burrup Peninsula and Dampier Archipelago, with its petroglyphs. Hickman meteorite crater and Punda rock art site (near Newman). Get advice from the visitor centre nearest to the places you’re planning to stay. I’ve done most just camping all the way, both in caravan parks and national parks. I did a great trip just staying in inexpensive accommodation and touring round. I’ve stayed in good hotels and motels in all these towns and cities, from Newman to Tom Price, Nullagine to Marble Bar, Karratha to Onslow. (Or vice versa, of course.)Įven leaving early on Sunday, July 5 (giving the Saturday 4th to get ready) and arriving home at teatime on Saturday, July 18 (giving Sunday 19th for the clean-up and put-away before school on Monday 20th), gives 10 days in the Pilbara. Drive home southbound along the coast, through Carnarvon. It’s a great and safe adventure - enjoy the landscape on the way.įor the July 4 to 19 school holidays, I would drive north on the inland route, up Great Northern Highway, via Mt Magnet.
The Pilbara’s sunny but mild days and cool nights between now and October make this the best time of year to travel there.īasically, I’d plan for two days driving there and two days back.
