Oh yes, the Pilbara is great place. Brilliant scenery. I'd love to get back there one day but it isn't possible in a 4 week annual holiday. Even if I take long service I doubt I'd make it all the way across to there. It will probably have to be the post-retirement trip. I hope to approach the area from the east, having seen rather a lot of sand and 'spinifex' (it's actually Triodia spp.) on the way.
You're right about the time of year. I spent 7 month in Pt Headland and then spent xmas in Karijini NP. Of course it was clear but the heat does churn up the atmosphere.
Fortunately one doesn't have to travel that far in Oz to get brilliant skies.
