Where ever I may roam

I left Mount Magnet this morning and after looking at The Granites (lots of rocks) I headed to Cue. There were various things to look at in Cue, including Day Dawn mine, which I was unable to find. I headed out to Walga Rock and looked at the rock paintings. That was a 100km trip on dirt roads, the troopy is now rather dusty. The ruins of Big Bell would have been good to visit, the pub there is rumoured to have had the longest bar in Australia.

Meekatharra didn’t hold much, I was planning on going to Peace gorge and The Granites (another one), however I was unable to find the turnoff to it. Meeka appeared quite dead, however I was driving through it on a Sunday so that may have something to do with it.

Welcome to the North West of Western Australia

I am currently camped at the Southern Branch of the Gascoyne River, writing this by firelight. No one else is around (except for some Cows, Roos and the occasional Bat). This is what I have to look forward to in Karijini and beyond. The stars are amazing and I will endeavour to get some photos once the fire has died. I drove over 500km today and have seen a variety of wildlife beside (and sometimes on) the road, including Cows, Roos, Sheep and Goats. The trip from Meekatharra onwards is quite empty, containing lots of scenery and that’s it.
