Pardoo Roadhouse

Everything is big in the Pilbara

Have just left the Kimberley Region and are back tracking through the Pilbara Region.

Sandfire Roadhouse

Left Barn Hill at 7:45 and heading to Newman for the night. Will be putting on about 1,200 Kim's today.

Sat evening at Barn Hill station caravan park

Slight change of plans for the night due to a bush fire closing the road in to Broome . Got here at dusk and set up camp in the dark. Looking forward to seeing the beach in the early morning light.

Running out the food stocks and had an amazing pasta and left overs mixture.

The caravan park looks to be quite full. It is rustic, but has a lawn bowling green which indicates that there are lots of seniors who patronise the park on long term stays.

Surprisingly there is a Telstra signal.

The blokes are listening to the AFL game of Fremantle playing Jelong. On the Prado's radio.

Bungle Bungles

This place is beyond words. I think all of us agree that it is one of our top 2 favourite parks we have visited this trip. We walked around the beehives in awe of the beauty of this natural wonder.

Last day in the park. Sad to be leaving. Now is our hard trip on the pavement all the way back to Perth. 3,200 Kms in 3 days! Plenty of time to reflect on this most incredible expedition. We feel very privileged to have net so many wonderful park staff, traditional owners, volunteers, and people along the way. The parks truly are a national treasure.

Hope to upload lots of photos once we are back in Perth by the end of the week.
