After two weeks of driving across broad, flat plains on long, straight roads, the relief of the Pilbara was very welcome. The landscape here is starkly beautiful. By day, the sparsely vegetated, blood red hills rise in stunning contrast to the deep blue sky. By night, the stars 'fairly blaze'. And in between we are treated to majestic sunrises and sunsets.
It was also a big relief to stop moving. Six days in one spot is a luxury, especially when there are no mossies and hardly any flies.
The greatest relief lay in the stunningly beautiful gorges of Karijini National Park. If we tried to describe these, we would quickly run out of superlatives, so we'll let the photos tell the story.
We'll see you when the dust settles - if we ever ring our way out of these gorges.
Dad this is awesome! You legend!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree Mallee...I'm exhausted and blown out by the landscapes and I'm only sitting at the computer. Looks like your having a great adventure and love catching up with your 'doings' especially with the Goldrick sense of humour, well expressed in the writing. Pilberra and Karijini National Park. Phew. I've just read from Dubbo to here and now I need a cup of tea. Glad those flies have gone. How's the Golden Mallee, Mallee? x
