From Shark Bay to Mt Augustus

Sadly my month was up so left Francois Peron national park near Denham and headed to Carnarvon to pick Bess up and continue our trip north to warmer weather. We spent 4 days in Carnarvon doing my washing ( thanks darling ) and loading the truck up for the next journey. We headed inland ( east) to Mt Augustus. Some where in our planing we had the bright idea to climb it ( dumb real dumb). Well a couple of days travelling another day acclimatising and up we went, 660m. It was 5 and half hours return and we both pulled up surprisingly OK. A fantastic view from the top and a very interesting walk through several different flora’s. We were in winter woollies the whole climb which is interesting as 3 people have died last year climbing this hill from heat exhaustion and lack of water. It was late September. This is the biggest monolith in the world, so another bucket tick. Eyres rock is only the 3rd biggest with the two biggest residing in WA and I have climbed all three 😎😎😎Read more
