Hello all
It's been a while since last posted an update, so I thought I had better get busy.
|
Pidgeon Hole Lookout ElQuestro |
It's starting to warm up with most days 39-41c, so unless I get an early start it becomes uncomfortable out and about.

The up side is that it is getting too warm for the tourists and it is a lot quieter along the roads and tracks.
The long Weekend in September I did a quick trip to Darwin, which was a good break away from town. Although the town nearly burnt down while I was away with a bushfire.
Before that trip I had OME shocks and struts fitted which transformed the trusty Hilux.
Last Sunday on a balmy 39c day we did the Karunjie track, which is the old stock route from Wyndham to the Pentecost Crossing on the Gibb.

It was hot, dusty, and recently burnt out with bushfires.

We only saw one other vehicle, a couple of swedish tourist who asked us "Is this the way to the Gibb River Road?"

A touch over 20 kilometres and five hours travel...........

False Mt Cockburn |
I will try again next season a bit earlier and cooler as it would be a much nicer trek.

By lunchtime it was just uncomfortable to get out of the ute.

Blogger has a limit of 100 megabite uploads, so this limits what drone footage I can upload.
I am on a steep learning curve with my video editing but I am thinking I might have to sign up to Youtube for video uploading.
|
Lower Pentecost |
And to finish the day..............an undisclosed secret place for a dip.
|
no directions will be given |
and finally to round off this post a shot of the ever stunning Ivanhoe Crossing.

Until the weather breaks I cant see myself doing much exploring, by mid morning temps are hovering in the high 30's.
Bye for now......
