Yesterday we decided to go for a day trip out to Marble Bar, it’s only a couple of hours drive from where we are staying. We’re both starting to get itchy feet, to be on the road again. We left about 9am and called into Dooleena Gorge just before Marble Bar.
Like most riverbeds up this way, the area was completely dry, but still worth a look and a couple of photos.
Then it was into Marble Bar.
We had lunch at the Ironclad Hotel.
We were quite surprised at how busy the town was, and our burgers for lunch were huge and delicious.
Then we went for a wander over the rocks at Chinamans Swimming hole. 
Very slippery to clamber around and by then it was quite hot, around 30 degrees, but worth it to see all the amazing colors through the rocks, which are smooth and look like marble. Took lots of photos here.
On the drive you could notice the wildflowers starting to come out and came across a patch of WA Sturt Pea. 
Just beautiful. We have a couple of weeks off from the 4th Aug. So looking forward to catching up with good friends Tom and Kathy and travelling South with them to see more of WA’s wildflowers. So till then keep well and happy. x
