Saturday the 5th of September we left Port
Hedland to go to Karijini National Park. The drive turned out to be one of the
best we have ever done. All of it was just desert but there were wildflowers
galore. The plains gave way to ranges and we climbed to a plateau which was
very large. The two rest areas we stopped at especially the one we overnighted
at were amazing.
Now I am not a flower loving kind of guy usually but even I
was impressed when we stopped at the Bea Bea Rest Area for lunch and saw all
these Sturt Desert Peas and and other flowers. The rest area had its own mini
gorges and beautiful gum trees and creek.
The road trip was full of beautiful scenery, rusty ranges, wildflowers and wildlife.
By about 3pm or a bit after we came to the Albert Tongolini
Rest Area. It was only about 50 kms short of our destination but the photos
should indicate why we chose to stay there for the night. Many fellow travelers
told us that they also stayed there for the same reason.
If you zoom in to this photo a lot you will see our van and
vehicle on the right hand side.
