We set off from Cape Kerauden heading for Indee Station (588 camps 6). Once again we passed lots of road trains on the road, they never cease to amaze us, the length of some of the vehicles is quite amazing. We filled up with diesel at South Hedland, rang everybody to let them know that we will be out of range again for the next few days.
We got to Indee Station and after driving 9 km on a dirt sandy road from the highway we finally arrived at what was supposed to be the camp site it was nothing but dirt, dongers and mine shacks and lots of broken down trucks. We decided that we didn’t think we would like to stay there so we did a U-Turn and came back out (once again 9 km on the dirt road). When I got out of the car at the gate I dropped Graham's glasses off my knee but didn't realise until we were about 5 km up the road (no we didn't go back for them).
We had our first bad encounter with a road train, the driver accused Graham of pulling out in front of him (which of course he didn’t, Graham is very aware of road trains and always gives them a wide berth).
We decided to head towards Auski Road House but when I looked in the camps 6 book I realised there was a free camp at Bea Bea Creek (587 camps 6) which is about 40 km before Auski and as we had already been in the car for 4 hours we decided to make our camp here for then night. Not a bad camp and will do us for the night. When we pulled into the camp we met a couple that were going through the gate at Indee as we were coming out and they also decided not to stay and guess what the lady had picked up Graham's glasses (can be lucky sometimes). Needless to say we were very grateful.
