Wyndham

The landscape here is quite different to what we have seen over the past few weeks.

There are mountains and winding roads....not arrow straight roads across vast plains.

We viewed Wyndham from a lookout showing it to be surrounded by extensive mud flats at the confluence of 5 rivers.

The local museum in the old town was interesting....all the usual old brick a brac but also photos of the early settlement, aboriginals chained at the neck in groups of 3 and forced to do hard labour....maybe for stealing a sheep.....maybe for nothing at all.

After lunch went for a swim at The Grotto.....164 rock steps down to a deep permenant water hole at the bottom of an Ampitheatre cliff.

Apparently there is a huge waterfall into it during the wet.

Beautiful spot, water was refreshing, as this winter's day it was 35C uptop.
