The Red Dog of Pilbara

Throughout the 1970s, an Australian Kelpie nicknamed Red Dog was frequently found roaming across the vast Pilbara region in Western Australia. The dog travelled thousands of kilometers by walking or hitching a lift in cars, buses, trucks and trains, visiting towns and cities such as Karratha, Dampier, Roebourne, Point Sampson, Port Hedland, Tom Price, Paraburdoo, Broome and even Perth. Red Dog was well-loved and during his travels he was fed and taken care of various people he met on the way.
