Tognalini rest area and lookout.

After leaving Marble Bar behind we headed off to Karijini NP. We called in at the Comet gold mine museum. We didn't get much information about the mine but we did enjoy a good chat with the caretaker and some other travellers. I guess we will just have to Google it. After about an hour of chatting and looking at some interesting old stuff we headed off along the dirt, about 65kms then all bitumen, towards Karijini. We pulled up at Tognalini rest area for the night. This sits up on a hill overlooking the Munjina East Gorge. The Great Northern Highway travels through the Gorge and it is quite a scenic drive. From the lookout you look at quite a beautiful part of the road as it snakes through the Gorge. You can hear the roadtrains travelling to Port Hedland going back through the gears as they approach the downhill run before you can see them. They certainly go a lot slower down the hill than they do going up.Leia mais
