  • Petermanns rest area Lassiter hwy

    25 de julio de 2023, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    Good day today went out to the Olga’s first thing this morning and we walked up the Walpo track. After that drove round to Windy Valley. Drove around to the Dunes. Look out to see the Olga’s and had lunch there. We then went to Boolaroo and went to the cultural centre and we were totally underwhelmed by the cultural centre. There was very little to do with aboriginal culture and it was all about commercial enterprise so we packed up there and then headed out to Petermanns rest area on the Lassiter Highway . We’ve set up for the night. Got a great fire going. I’m gonna cook tea lamb chops on the fireLeer más

  • Monalena rest area

    29 de julio de 2023, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Moving day today and we are now sitting at Mona Lena. Rest area. Got the fire going ready to cook tea. Julie is feeling a little bit better today we’ve travelled about 450 kilometres. We left Bronwyn and Geoff . They were heading out to William Creek today and we’re heading south on the way home. We stopped at Glendambo for some fuel and lunch and then pulled over at Lake Hart and had a little bit of a look at that. Had plenty of water in it and saw a lot of horses in horse flights obviously going to or coming back from some Gymkhana event.
    Lots of birdlife here we saw the Mulga parrot and the eastern blue Bonnet parrot, yellow throated miners, and some sort, of Kite that Julie will tell me about.
