Newman to Buddah's Overnighter

Day 8- We moved onto our next stop. Google Maps had us all ready for a quick stop at Auski Roadhouse, then 40km (about half sealed/half gravel) to "Buddha's Overnighter."

We got to the point on the map where it should have been, and there was nothing! So luckily, Wiki Camps had the correct position! Another 40km of gravel - but totally worth it! We drove along the back of all the Ranges of Karajini- such a pretty drive.

We found the camping ground easily, and it is one of the best places we've ever stayed! and it's free!! (Sue McCartney - you would love it🥰), the camp areas are really well spaced, and the sun sets on Mt Sheila and rises over Hamersley Range. The colours change on the rocks as the sun moves- its amazing to watch.

We headed over to Hamersley Gorge, but unfortunately, it was getting a bit dark, so we will return tomorrow.

I think this is the only Gorge we haven't been to before, so I was a bit dark that I couldn't go down, but we will definitely come back, just to stay at the camp ground again.

This is Iron Ore mining country, and we followed a drillers track through some more beautiful countryside. The photos don't do the place justice.Read more
