Where ever I may roam

After 2.5 months in Broome I’m back on the road again, having left Broome on the 15th. For something different I’m travelling with Cindy, a 28yo Taiwanese girl, to split fuel/food and accomidation costs. So far things are good although she has a ton of stuff but its early days yet. The first night was spent at Birwood Downs station after an uneventful trip to Derby.

After leaving the station yesterday we went to Tunnel Creek. I had a great time walking through the 2km of caves, wading through the water and enjoying the scenery. On the way back to Windjana [link] we stopped off at the ruins of Lillimilura Police Station

Last night was spent at Windjana Gorge, a national park camp site with flushing toilets, showers and drinking water. It was quite a change to some of the other national parks that I have been in.

Today we hiked through the gorge in the early morning and we were rewarded with great views of river bed, gorge walls and the occasional crocidile (freshie) sunbaking on the bank of the river.

The 7km return trip was worth doing to see how the landscape varied and morning was the best time to set off as it was starting to get hot when we were heading out at 11am. We also hiked Lenard Gorge, which is similar to some of the gorges in Karijini, however it was impossible to decend into the gorge and rock pools below.
