Meteorite National Park

Day 9
Meteorite National Park
The Tanami is great stretches of road in what should look like desert. However, we continue to be surrounded by lush green plants, wildflowers and truffula looking trees. Dingoes. More dingoes. They are brazen and quite frankly seem used to us tourists ( we wondered if some people fed them)! The border crossing into WA has to be the most unceremonious border welcome ever! Check it out in my pics! Typically Australian and self made. One lonely camel cruised along in the middle of the road much to everyone’s excitement as we’d been on the look out for days. The Meteorite National Park is a tiny park with a giant meteorite crater in fact second biggest in the world ( Arizona has the biggest)! And situated in non other than Wolf Creek. Yep if that’s what you are thinking. “Spring water was beautiful.” Here we watched the spectacular sun sets of the west and woke before the sparrows to traverse up the crater for sunrise. It didn’t disappoint. To think that something so colossal hit the earth here , 300000 years ago and made such a dint is phenomenal. In the crater itself is a waterhole surrounded by glorious wildflowers trees and all the birds you could imagine. I’m not sure it always has water so feeling blessed. It was another beautiful star spangled camp night with poetry recitations and singing ( some). Our trip has been amazing. It’s been dusty. It’s been wet. It’s been freezing cold. It’s been rough going on some tracks but all worthwhile.Read more
