"Have Cassette ... Will Travel" ... Mui dumping the black waste before we get on the road

Passing a 175-foot (53.5 m) long road train — on the Great Eastern Highway, WA.

The water pipeline that runs along the Great Eastern Hwy reminds me of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline.

It takes 5 days for the water to travel 351 miles through the Golden Pipeline.

Memorial Cemetery preserving some of the original headstones — Southern Cross, WA.

The brown signs list the names of those buried in the original cemetery — Southern Cross, WA.

Oversized indeed ... carrying a dumpster truck to one of the mines — on the Great Eastern Hwy, WA.

The fence that was built to keep rabbits (and emus later) out of WA's agricultural regions.

Silo Art ... part of the 620-mile+ long Silo Art Trail — Merredin, WA.
