We stopped at Drysdale Station, hoping for a tyre but the best we could do was fill our stomachs with an $18.00 hamburger. Delicious & not a crumb was left at that price.
Not sure how many piled into this tray back that headed off in a cloud of dust.
Said goodby to some friends we had made at Honeymoon Bay & headed out along the Gibb again.
Di & Jim's setup was made in Hervey Bay, their bed was on the other side. Hope to catch up with them again as they are from Brisbane.
A long trip but when we hit the tar at El Questro we both whooped with delight that we were an hour from home & the corrugations & rocks were far behind us.
Travelling through the Cockburn Ranges at sunset we were rewarded with an amazing moving blockbuster of a sunset.
We spent three days cleaning up the car, washing the dust from everything & replacing the tyre before heading west towards Broome. Going through Halls Creek we ran in to Jim & Di again heading east. Bought the best meat & vegie pasties ever in Halls Creek. The bakery was owned by an Argentian, served by a Taiwanese girl in an aboriginal community town. Only in Australia!
Free camped on a "jump up" once again rewarded with a beautiful sunset.
Moved on next day through Fitzroy Crossing & turned right to Derby for our next stop.
If it wasn't for the Boabs it was a white line fever day
Love this tar road though!
