Moving North

The roads remain closed and the queue of trucks waiting to get through is unbelievable.

We are told roads may open midday tomorrow.

We have decided to go North towards Newman and Karijini National Park to let the coastal comunities clean up and recover a bit before we visit.

The desert is enormous.

Stops at Cue....again nice sandstone buildings from a bygone era....but almost all abandoned. Its main claim is being miles from anywhere.

Meekathra....a small supermarket but no fresh supplies due to road closures, a caravan selling burgers, sandwiches and wraps.

We have stopped at Karalundi, an old aboriginal mission...now an aboriginal girls boarding school .....school holidays though....and small caravan park attached. No drugs, no smoking and no alcohol.

1st flight with the drone....
