It looked like someone tried to drive to Barrow Island then thought better of it!
We dropped into Fortescue Roadhouse to get some fuel. Whilst we were filling up and cleaning windscreens, Phoebe heard on the UHF radio a request for help for an emergency, as a truck had turned over just south of the Fortescue Roadhouse. As this was the direction we were heading we went past the accident scene. By this stage there were plenty of people roadside to help, so we thought it best not to add to the drama. The entire roadtrain was on its roof off the road. An ambulance soon passed us on the way to the scene. We heard some chat from other truck drivers over the radio about what might have happened. Their theories were based on the driver getting distracted - eating while driving, fallen asleep at the wheel. We never heard if the driver was alright.
The road to the Ningaloo Peninsular heads inland from Karratha, it was fairly drab. We popped into Exmouth on the way through to the Yardie Homestead Caravan Park. We were here eight years ago, now they have built a marina just south of town. It looks like things are booming here, unlike Wyndam which is going backwards. The centre of town hasn't changed much, except they have two IGA supermarkets open across the courtyard from each other. I'm surprised the town can support both. We turned left to our park after the yellow caravan.
We settled in, with the girls playing on the playground and shooting goals at the basketball ring.
