Where to next? Back up the coast via Milstream NP

 We decided that we would stay a little longer in WA as Victoria is still in a extended lockdown. My work had been giving people directives to stand down and Adams phone has gone quiet so where to next? WA is heading into school holidays and the coast down from Coral bay is choca block. So we are heading back up to Cape Leveque as we loved it so much. We set the car North and take the Road to Millstream and book the Star gazers camp for 2 nights. We had missed this park on the way down as we thought we had not enough time so it was great to able to include it in our trip. It was hot out there 42 the day we arrived but there is a great swim hole near by. We headed off in the morning for the homestead and a river crossing the camp host had told us about. The homestead was a real gem quite a stately home for this region. 

We got to the crossing and found a little spa pool right on the road that was great for a dip.

The view from the look out was beautiful and we saw a couple black swans on the water  which was nice as they are WA's state bird 

Big Pilbara sky

The highlight was a swim spot called Deep Reach which was a large body of water that was really warm to swim in. We spent the afternoon there and ended up cooking a BBQ and staying for dinner as well. ( it was pretty hot)

The next day we packed up and headed for Python Pools on our way out. Python Pools is a deep pool of water that is usually there all year round. It has some magnificent rock walls and is in the middle of a great expanse of space in the Pilbara with lots of Dolerite mountains. 

The outback is harsh out there but that's what I love about Australia. We take the Road less travelled and don't see another soul for 60kms.
