The days start early in the caravan park the sun is getting up,and so are the travellers, who have places to be. The couple beside us wanted to be at El Questro (100 km away) so of course they had to be up making a lot of noise by 5:45. Hence we were also wideContinue reading “26/6/21 Rum, views, bowerbirds and a fond farewell”

25/6/21 Out of the Bungles
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.

Then in to Halls Creek where we added fuel and shopped before headingContinue reading “22/6/21 long drive to Purnululu”

Day 2 and 3 12/6/21&13/6/21
Appila Springs was a lovely spot to explore this morning. The water was trickling over the rocks into the pools below and friendly people and dogs chatted to us as we explored briefly before heading onwards. We headed on to the Flinders, passing Eurelia (one of our favourite little towns) and arriving at Rawnsley atContinue reading “Day 2 and 3 12/6/21&13/6/21”
Day 1. To Appila Springs
It was a late start. We pulled out of home at 2.50pm after a mad flurry of packing. We are not sure yet how much has been forgotten. Trevor and I are both thinking there is too much food for the fridge ( some didn’t fit and is in a bag with cold bricks). AnContinue reading “Day 1. To Appila Springs”
