The day 24 as per our plan was supposed to be Broome to Karijini National Park in Western Australia \u2013 around 950 kms. But sometimes things don\u2019t go as planned. Just when we were checking out from the hotel, I received a call from home, telling me that one of aunts was no more. It was a huge personal loss for me as she had loved me probably more than my own mother. And I didn\u2019t even have time to mourn her death. But as they say the show must go on, I saved the mourning for some other day and continued to ride. But no matter how I hard I tried, I was not in best of mental state to ride 950 kms and the start was delayed as well because of these phone calls. So a decision was made to not to ride all the way to Karijini and call it a day at Port Hedland, which was good 325 kms shy of our original plan.<\/p>\n

Port Hedland is a major port town and second largest town in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Huge industrial set up start to appear as soon as you start approaching the town but the most prominent features on the horizon are the huge mounds of unprocessed salt, some of them several stories high. \u00a0We had our first and the only photo break there before we headed to our hotel and called it a day.\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n
