Its 40° again

One of the activities photographed is not recommended for silly old blokes.

The water flow in the Gascoyne River is intermittent with long stretches underground. Sad face - at Jimba Jimba where the water is deeply separated from us by thick layers of Shale rock and golden sand. The swimming spot is in Gascoyne Junction, it is deep, wide and refreshingly cool in places.

Gascoyne Junction is an interesting place. There has been white settlement here since the 1870’s however most of the town is brand new. The tavern/garage/general store, the caravan park, the council buildings and houses are all shiny and new. The bridge over the Gascoyne heading off to Kennedy Range is a significant new construction. In the town centre there is a very grand park that is still under construction. The other 5 buildings, the school and the power station are a little older.Läs mer
