Hello all
From Carnarvon I headed North to Gnaraloo Station and Red Bluff

Red Bluff was stunning, and the surf was massive, the waves were 'dumpers' and all night and day was like a thunderstorm with the waves thumping on the shore.

After Red Bluff I decided to head inland to try to escape the constant strong winds.

I wanted to visit the Big Bell townsite ruins near Que.

Big Bell Hotel in it's heyday reportedly had the longest bar in Australia.

It would have been a Grand building back in the day, with all the fireplaces, arches, and tiled walls.

Next stop was the Superpit at Kalgoorlie.

The dots you can see on the access road exiting the Superpit are dump trucks carrying 250 tonnes each.

Next update will be across the Nullabour, and a few hiccups along the way, including my first major mechanical problem and the 6 day wait for parts and repairs.
Bye for now.
