Before we left there were just a couple more things we needed to do, so after the pack up we walked off from our campground on the little loop walk that Ev had recommended. We were really glad that we did. It was surprising how much could be seen and learnt from the signs inContinue reading “25/6/21 Out of the Bungles”

24/6/21 Echidna Chasm and Mini Palms
While Al and Zita went out to ride in a helicopter ( after flat battery and jump start) we headed out to Echidna Chasm. Word is you should be here in the middle of the day, but everyone aims for that, so we decided to enjoy less crowd and cooler weather and be there beforeContinue reading “24/6/21 Echidna Chasm and Mini Palms”
23/6/21- Domes at the Bungles
Today we had a very early morning as our neighbours headed out early to see the sunrise. They drove out at 5:20am. They were back again by about 7:30 starting to pack up. It was Craig’s birthday so we had an early gift giving ( once we found the gift and card) before we startedContinue reading “23/6/21- Domes at the Bungles”
22/6/21 long drive to Purnululu
We had an earlier start , leaving at 8.30 from camp. Ross and Jan had already been gone for at least an hour. Our first stop was Wolfe Creek Crater, where we marvelled at the power that could move so much earth. Then in to Halls Creek where we added fuel and shopped before headingContinue reading “22/6/21 long drive to Purnululu”
21/6/21 day 11- rellies on the Tanami
We left camp just after 9 this morning. We were only about 20 km from the border. 90 km on from the border Al and Zita had a flat tyre. Just after that we stopped for morning tea by a bit of a dam. Lots of birds here to enjoy. Driving on, we agreed toContinue reading “21/6/21 day 11- rellies on the Tanami”
20/6/21 A day on the Tanami
Today we spent all day on the Tanami. It was a late start ( after 11) due to getting up a bit later and some repairs required for Al and Zita. We had company for a while before we left-travellers going the other way whose brains we picked. Their bike carrier needed fixing and CraigContinue reading “20/6/21 A day on the Tanami”
19/6/21 heading across the Tanami
We spent the morning getting organised and then explored the Olive Pink Botanic Gardens while we waited for our whole group to be ready to go. At the botanic gardens we had a really good look at a juvenile western bower bird and white plumed honeyeater as well as a yellow throated miner and ringContinue reading “19/6/21 heading across the Tanami”

Eringa waterhole was our first stop this morning. This is a beautiful spot with plenty of room for camping. We had an early cuppa there ( only an hour or so since we broke camp). We visited the ruins there and admired the red dock(?) and the budgies hanging around. There was a huge waterContinue reading “17/6/21”

After a lovely evening and quiet night we broke camp at 9 am and met a grader on the way to Algebuckina Bridge (our morning tea stop). On the way we saw a black breasted kite. At Algebuckina we stopped at 1045 to check out the bridge and soak in the atmosphere for 3/4 ofContinue reading “16/6/21”
