Ben was very excited to find $2.50 from the tooth fairy this morning. We headed off to Newman to stock up for our trip to Coral Bay and to catch up with some good friends of ours Blakey and Dion. We both worked with them years ago even before Gaz and I got together. We got into town called into the caravan park and put some washing on. Then we were stoked to find the supermarket, hardware and grog shop all in one spot...super score as we were time poor! As I was...

We treated the kids to cereal this morning, as we had just been having yoghurts and fruit in the car to save a bit of time. We were supposed to drive past Punmu but somehow we ended up driving through into town and out to their tip. Lovely scenic drive :) met a lovely friendly aboriginal man on the tractor and his wife was on the back riding on the trailer. We got a few bars of phone range outside of Telfer mine so we pulled up in the shade for some lunch. We sp...

We had a bit of an early start today. We were up at 5, think the kids are still in Qld time zone. Packed up camp and got back on the road. About 100 meters further along the road there was an awesome big open camping area which actually had a proper track in. Trust us to pull up 200 mtrs short :) we had a laugh and drove on. Pulled up at Gary junction. Just 2 old heavy 44 gallon drums to represent it with a sign in book. Signed the book and we're on the road agai...

Yay we are back in WA! Pulled up at the border and got some photos. Then we had to back track a bit as Shaun and Gaz wanted to go and hunt some camels with their bows. The camels got spooked and took off so they missed out. Then it was déjà vue as we passed the border again :) We drove into Kiwirrkurra to fuel up, well what an adventure. Drove around town looking for the fuel which was a bit of a mission to find. We had driven past the general store that was ...

Today we hit the road from Alice. We stopped and only did one of the gorges - Ormiston gorge. We chose this one as Kylie's maiden name is Ormiston. Beautiful place got lots of great photos, kids had fun climbing rocks and running around on the sand, they even spotted a dingo. We fuelled up at Glen Helen and they told us about a turn off a km up the road for some good shade for lunch. It was a nice pergola lookout overlooking the Finke river. Then it was off on...
