Welcome to Western Australia

 Wow, to date we have covered over 4,000 kms since we left home, and thoroughly enjoying every one of those kilometres.

Before we left Mataranka, we visited the Bitter Springs for a dip, what a pretty area. Lots and lots of people enjoying the hot springs.

It was now time to head a little way up the Stuart Highway to Katherine, then turned left and headed west. The road was very good, however not so the scenery. Truely not really a great deal to see.

Just on lunchtime we pulled into Victoria River Roadhouse, filled the vehicles, filled the bodies, then decided we had had enough for the day, and we were guaranteed a powered site for the night.

A very qwerky sign on the roadhouse for the new managers!! It was an amazing place out in the middle of nowhere, but had lovely shady sites and the ammenities were very good. It was here that we got our first sunset over the ancient rock formations of the Kimberleys.

After a good nights sleep, we travelled on toward the NT/WA border.  First though, would you believe in this lonely outback place - Timber Creek, not far from the border we found a bakery!! Well of course that meant mornos and more muffins, after filling the vehicles with diesel. 

It  is not far now to where we  find out if our border passes are acceptable or not. We had emptied the fridges of any fresh fruit and veges, along with the honey (although not much) were to be got rid of. Thankfully we had worked our menus etc so that we had minimal to put out.

All good though, and we were into WA. Yay!! We are definitely on our way. Our first stop in WA will be Lake Argyle. However, it is time to see where our site for the next couple of nights will be.

So I will close off for now,

'Til next time
