Last Day of wildflower trip WA

Another lovely spring day, not that far back to Port Hedland now. WA has so much changing landscape. Lush paddocks of canola a couple of days ago to barron hills today.

Called into Newman, for some groceries and a bit of a break.

Quite a few camels on the road today, and they seem to think they have right of way, and of cause we’re not in a position to argue, and in no real hurry to get back to port.  So we stopped for me to take some photos. Next it was time for some Lunch, Albert Tognolini is a favourite stop for many, as the view of the cutting through the hills is worth a look.  With lunch and a few more kilometers done, we thought one more night and campfire, was in order.

So about an hour out of Port, we pulled off the road and made camp for one more time.So next morning, a bit of a wander, a few photos, and that is it for this trip.

          What a good couple of weeks we’ve had. Arrived back at the depot about lunch time .

Wiluna to Mt Robinson WA

Was quite surprised that we had a quiet night in Wiluna, so we were up early to tackle the road through to Meekatharra. We had been told it was a 100klm of bad gravel, and advised not to take it. But rather than backtrack and add an extra 200 kms, we decided to chance it. Not a problem ! It was part gravel, part bitumen, and took us a little over an hour till we reached Meekatharra. Had a cooked breakfast in a nice park there.  From there it was up the Great Northern Hwy to Newman, an active mining town.   Still very hot and dry and temperatures of 38 plus each day.  We are now wanting to get to Karijini for a few days, before Chris starts work in Port Hedland next week. Longest day so far and almost nightfall, by the time we pulled up at a camp at Mt Robinson. Next day I took a couple of photos of our surrounds  and then we were off again.
