From Newman back to Perth

On our way back to Perth we called in at the Whaleback open-cut iron ore mine near Newman, the largest in the world. The scale was incredible. Twelve 2 km long trains depart the mine every day with iron ore for export, and this is only one of several mines in the region. 

Back in Perth, we chose to stay in Fremantle.

The mine from a nearby hill. Massive dumptrucks are the size of ants. 

An idea of the scale of the equipment in use. 

Back in Perth (Fremantle) and yet another awesome sunset. 

One journey ends, another begins. After almost 4 weeks on the road together, it finally was time to say goodbye to Chris. We're standing infront of my ride across the Nullabor Plain to Adelaide.
