Day 42 - Wednesday, 24 February (18 kms north of Geraldton, at the noisy North Western Hwy)

Today I will write and document as we go.  Hans does the driving and there will be little to see.

We are in for a long and dreary strech today direction Geraldton and the "Batavia Coast", where we travelled 3 weeks ago.

 

A typical " Roadhouse", in this case Wooramel.

 Strychnine to kill Dingos in the dry bush savanna.

  

There are many signs but extremely little wildlife in this part of Australia - till now we saw only green parrots, pink kackatoos, seagulls, eagles, some bats, a few emus a and a couple of kangaroos.

Mostly cattle and sheep.

Lunch a Billabong (waterhole) Roadhouse.

,

Afternoon break with black swans at the Murchison River at Yandi (Bush camping)

Old road - new road, 12 meters above the river.

After 6 hrs of travelling we are back in the "wheat belt" and the civilisation of Northampton, but we head for the Coast just north of Geraldton.

 Preparing the "house".

It is very windy and almost cold.
