After a nice time at Wooramel Station, and still heading north ,we called in and had a look around Carnarvon. Quite nice around the foreshore
From there we headed inland again and set up in the caravan park at Gascoigne Junction. Rain was forecast so we decided to see what the day was like before going out to the Kennedy Ranges.
When the Gascoyne River floods al roads for miles around are closed, often for weeks on end, so as you can see by the boat on the roof of the building across the river , it wouldn’t be good to get stuck out here
However the rocky area around the banks of the river make a good catchment area ,and picnic spot.for the town and farms around, still has water in it, when most rivers are dry
Not far out of town there is a cobbled road, by Kingsford Smith, for transport, before he got into aircraft travel. Chris thought it interesting, so I took a photo.
The next day was fine and a little cooler, so off we went to do the Kennedy Rangers,and we were not disappointed
I have so many photos of the places we explored, it;s hard to pick which ones to load up. We walked dry creek beds ,clambered over rocks , nearly knocked myself out on a overhanging branch !! In general had a big day out .
As the clouds started to come over that afternoon we headed back into the Junction, hooked up the van and travelled back out to the coast road and found a free camp on the river, with quite a few others . All sitting there while the showers of rain cleared.
Minilya River camp with rain on the way We stayed for 3 nights before moving on.
