Well done

Thanks Phil, this was captured in the Bungles and I might be back there in a week or so. Stunning place.

Lovely Mick, nice and green as well.

Agree, that grass looks wonderful.

Nice Mick. Very grassy considering I believe it was a dry wet season up north this year.

Nicely captured. All Iron ore I suppose
Planning to head that way in 2017. Have got the camper and the 4 wheel drive. Now need to convince the management that it will be 4 star camping.

Spinifex grass is beautiful to look at but damn spiky,

Very dry wet season Todd, worst I can remember. But in April this area (Halls Creek) copped a huge dump of rain. On the 54km track in to the campground I crossed two creek beds that held a small amount of water. Some years there are twenty plus wet creek beds to cross I believe. The Bungles were pretty dry when I was there in late May , the high evaporation rate made short work of the puddles.

I may be back there next week and will be curious to see how green it is. I've been approached by a friend of mine who has a friend who is legally blind. She wants to see the Bungles while she still can and I've been tasked to take her there and show her around. When I raised the issue of the comfort level in my ancient Hilux he said, " Oh,no, leave the Lux at home and take my Prado!"

So I'm mad keen to do this trip on many levels. It will be an honour and privilege. to help this lady. When I asked about the level of assistance Margaret will require my friend simply stated that I will be amazed and impressed with what she can do and what she has achieved thus far in her life. Can't wait to meet her! The trip is not locked in yet but I'm preparing as though it is.

Not iron ore Hans. I mentioned in another thread that I covered 150kms while there and that's on top of the 54km track in. Take plenty of fuel! Campsites have drop dunnies and water is available but its bore water and needs boiling for consumption. Also no campfires permitted.

I reckon you need about three days to have a good look around at a minimum.

That sounds like it should be a cracker of a trip Mick. Not only what you will see and do or the comfort of the Prado, but being able to experience the joy of someone seeing these areas for themselves. That part always gets me excited.

[Isac]

That's fabulous Mick.

Yeah, I love taking folks out into the Kimberley and showing them stuff they'll never see on a tour. This should be a special trip and as always with me, no rush. The plan is to take a full week, might even slip into Wolfe Creek Crater again as its kinda on the way

That's fabulous Mick.

Thanks Isac.

[Alan]

Sounds like it's going to an interesting and worthwhile experience - and you never know where it might lead

Enjoy

(sad to hear about the probable sale of the Lux )

[loose cannon]

Cheers Alan...sold the Lux today...handover on Monday.

Got a heck of a good price though..and at 28 years old probably time to move it on. Next vehicle, whatever it is, will have power steering and a/c and that will tempt me to wander far and wide. And any vehicle will get to my favourite campsite on the Fitzroy river.

A new chapter begins

Wow Mick. Huge news. I thought you were the type of bloke that would end up buried with his car. Sad to see it go I'm sure. Hopefully on to bigger and better things next hey.
