A short blog entry today with only one photo from tonight.
Although I wish I had some from the journey here…
A later than planned start due to the friendliness of our
neighbours and their friends, but the sense of relief as the campsite faded
into the distance was palpable. With these happy thoughts, we settled into the
350km drive starting with a splash and dash of fuel from Kununurra.
The minute we started on the Great Northern Highway the
scenery started to change, and it changed a few times before the turnoff into
Purnululu. In short, “oh wow” was said a few times. But enough from me, just
drive it for yourselves.
Once we got onto the Purnululu track, it was 53km of
fabulous, but not too difficult, twisty track. A few water crossings. A few
small corrugations. A few crests at the top of a switchback. Fun, low speed
driving.
That campsite itself for the next few days is Kurrajong. By
all accounts it’s a lot quieter than Walardi, which is fabulous after Lake
Argyle. Our neighbour is about 100m
away.
Time to settle in for the night with a couple of beers and
that bottle of Pepperjack we’ve been carrying since Wyndham. Unfortunately it’s
my turn to cook, so some restraint will have to be shown. For now…
