Description
The story goes that in 1970 a petrol tanker broke down in
the area and the demand for fuel from passing motorists was so great that a
roadhouse was established.
It is located half way between Port Hedland and Broome. There is a pleasant
rest area next to the roadhouse with tables nestled under shady trees and
surrounded by bougainvillea and palm trees. There is a flock of peacocks
resident at the roadhouse which are quite tame and seem to relish the
attention of travellers and their cameras.
The roadhouse owes its existence Eddie and Kath Norton who originally got
the project going and ran the establishment for some years before retiring
to Broome.
