Poor old michael was a bit crook today so he spent the day at the park while Julie and I went out and explored all of the West McDonnell ranges. First stop was Simpsons Gap, then on to Standley chasm, then straight up to Ormiston Gorge, back to the ochre pits, Ellery Creek and that saw the day out.Meer informatie

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 fireMeer informatie

Unfortunately Julie was still a bit crook today so it was just Bronwyn Jeff, michael and I went out to the breakaway ranges and had a look at them and then came back and had a look at the Opal Museum in Cooper Beatty and then went back to camp and had lunch. Then after lunch we’re gonna go out in the afternoon and unfortunately Geoff and Bronwyn‘s pop top. Had a massive mechanical failure and had to spend the afternoon sorting that out. Then we had a lovely dinner. Few beers and off to bed.Meer informatie

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.Meer informatie
