After leaving Karijini National Park, I take the Rio Tinto private access road and discover one of the biggest surprises of my Western Australia road trip - Millstream Chichester National Park. Hidden among the red landscapes of the Pilbara, this lush oasis is unlike anywhere else I've visited.
In this episode of my solo van life adventure, I explore beautiful waterholes, learn about Aboriginal astronomy and the Dark Emu, cook vegan pizza and Czech potato fritters in my campervan, test a Victorian-inspired no-shampoo hair routine after 12 days without washing my hair, and finally brave an icy swim at Python Pool.
If you're planning a Pilbara road trip or travelling through Western Australia by campervan, I hope this video gives you a few ideas for places you might otherwise drive straight past.
