I met some bronzed Aussies, and also found a place with some low-tech air conditioning.
On a walk home we ran into some ghosts in the night. They turned out to be the camels from the sunset tour being led back to their stables.Eerie. |
More fantastic pictures. Looks like you had a great time. Wasn't there a topless beach? I think documentary photos would have been nice. :)

On the way to Halls Creek on the first night's drive, there was a series of dry creeks. At 120kph we hit the only one that wasn't totally dry. It was unsigned and a total shock. For a moment I thought we were dead.
Some of the landscape reminded me I hadn't been to Pixies for a while. I was pleasantly surprised to see a group moving stock around with horses. The old West (Australia) still lives. Hereby endeth the tail. |

They were the white pointers, DB.
It's not counted as urbane to take pics when they have 7ft 57in boyfriends who get a tad possessive. On the way back, we found a car crash, only a few hours old. There was no blood or effects in the car, but a classic example of keeping your mind on your driving. |
No wonder the creek surprised you.:yikes: You can only see the warning signs in your rear view mirror............. after the fact. :car:
:rofl: |

No doubt you decided to try some, just to see what the fuss was about ;) Excellent travelogue...Nature's majesty always takes one's breath away...so much of your desert reminds me of the American West, including the buttes & the big honking hole in the ground. |
Cool pics!!!!
|
BTW, the crater's a half mile across.

The Australian version of the Grand Tetons (OFT24)? :D Pixies would have come to mind. Actually, I probably would have thought about stopping and climbing to the summit. Not sure if I would have done it ... but the thought would have been there. It has been fun reading your description of the trip. Thanks for sharing it! |

If that kind of thought occurs to me, I usually sit down with a cool beverege until it goes away. |
I loved the Erte' Guiness sign!
Sounds like you had a good time. What kind of temperature range does that area have??? |
Approaching zero at worst and 125F-ish at hottest.
Coastal Broome is a lot milder, peaking not much over 110F, down to maybe 50F. |
I was just curious because Mexico is hot as a bitch in late June but your pics look like it was hotter than that.
