This was never going to be a fun day. 860km or so to do, but at least it's mostly bitumen and there are 2 drivers.
The pack up of camp got done in record time so we had a small amount of time to go and have another look at te crater and get a better shot of it with less shadow...
It wasn't until I started reading the boards this morning that I realised this is a rather recent addition to the landscape. It hit only about 300,000 years ago. No wonder it's so well preserved. Another fact garnered from the info boards speaks to the isolation of the place. Although the area has been leased to pastoralists and explored since the 1880s, the crater wasn't identified until the Geological Survey did and aerial survey of the area in 1947...
The rest of the day was thankfully uneventful and we arrived in Broome around 4:30pm to the sumptuous Cable Beach Resort
