We had a lovely peaceful night and woke up to the sight and sounds of the hilarious galahs. We both went for showers first thing as we usually do. It was knicker change day for me today so I took a pair of nice clean knickers with me when I went to the amenities block. It felt great to be in clean clothes! After brekky I went back to the amenities block to have a poo. When I was done and washing my hands I noticed a pair of dirty underpants flopped out on the she...

We slept to the comforting rumble of road trains hurtling past on the highway. After brekky we headed off towards Karijini National Park which was about 60 kilometres away. On the way we stopped at a lookout at Munjina Gorge which is the gorge that the highway winds it's way through. The view from the lookout was spectacular and gave us a taster of how dramatic and gorgeous the scenery would be today. Our experience here though was hampered by a couple of things....

It rained again during the night but thankfully by morning the rain had stopped, the clouds had cleared and the sky was a gorgeous deep blue.

In the space of a few minutes the spitting had turned into a fierce and intense torrential downpour. Even with the wipers on f...

We made an early escape from the camp site as we had the camper booked in for a service at half seven. We had covered 5000 kilometres in only about three weeks since we were in Alice Springs! We have really been motoring and clocking up the k's. The distances between places in the Northern Territory and this part of Western Australia have been simply staggering. Kilometre upon kilometre of desolate bush and red dirt we have covered. It has been a fantastic road t...
