Continuing through to Tom Price….

Okay,..continuing on….

We landed at Hammersley gorge only to realize that there’s no camping in that part of the park.  But there was a stop for trucks and roadtrains just inside the turnoff.

  So, we stayed there for the night so we could have an early start the next day.

 

 

The gorge was great!  The boys had decided they would go swimming.  We were told that the waters would be freezing I opted out.

 

The rocky walls were something.

 

 

 

So the guys headed down the gorge to parts unknown.  It wasn’t too much later that Chris returned and said, “Kath!  you GOTTA go down there!..It’s GREAT!”

And even after watching Col gasping from the initial shock of cold water, I jumped in.  Later, as the people started coming into the ravine, we decided  that it was time for a quick cup of coffee and heading out to Tom Price.

The beauty of the country once again, is unsurpassing.

 

 

 

Well, after collecting loads of dust, I’ve cleaned everything up and we should be ready for our trip out of the Pilbara by Saturday.  Today, we’re heading off on a tour of the Tom Price mine.  And tomorrow, we’re doing a tour of Karajini National Park.  We were told there was LOTS of people in the Karajini campgrounds and it was practically standing room only, so we opted to stay here and take a tour bus in from here.
