We packed up this morning, ate brekky and left the Auski road house caravan park heading north along the Great Northern Highway to Port Hedland. Once again we enjoyed the scenery as we drove by: the vast open yellow plains, the different sized termite mounds (some looking hilarious with white miner caps placed on top), the occasional cattle straying by the roadside, the bald eagles soaring above, the private roads leading to mine sites including Roy Hill, and t...

After brekky Gadi headed out to a different part of Karijini National Park and I settled down to enjoy another day on my own (with Cadbury for company) - yay! When you've been on the road close to three months and you are spending 24 hours a day together, mostly on your own without others around, it's nice to occasionally have some time apart. I spent the day baking (again), this time making an orange almond cake with black chia seeds (I had farm fresh oranges ...

We left early and stopped at the nearby Juna Downs, Albert Tognolini rest area, where we had planned to spend last night, but couldn't make it there as the low sun yesterday evening made it impossible to drive any further. We parked and walked to the cliff edge and were rewarded with an impressive view of the gorge with deep red cliffs and the...

It already felt quite hot and the flies were out in force. The road trains were steadily passing by on the nearby highway heading both north and south. Came back inside, had a shower and we set off early, stopping to make breakfast about an hour and a half north in a rest stop - toasted sandwiches made in t...

What a day of contrasts today has been, especially in terms of the weather. Woke up to rain pattering on the caravan and it steadily got worse. We packed up and left early before breakfast - guess with our caravan we can eat anywhere. We stopped a little further north in a road side rest area for brekky. We then drove through Paynes Find, stopping only for fuel and a quick toilet stop in the pouring rain, before driving on to the larger town of Mount Magnet. Her...
