ROCKS!
Dales Gorge, Karijin Greetings one & all from 'the other one'. Firstly apologies for the lack of contributions so far - Matty is doing such a great job, I didn't really see the need to bore you all. Also apologies to Alex for the gruesome pictures - hope the attached make up for it!!!
Next onto corrections - for those of you who know & love Matt as I do it will come as no surprise to find that we were not in fact on the Great Western Highway for 2 days - it was the Great Northern Highway (the Western one has yet to be built!!!). Surfice to say we did end up at the Karijini National Park which was our intended destination with only one minor detour of 70Km (minor being a relative term out here).
And finally a few ommissions which I thought quite amusing, well one main one really - those nice little monks in New Norcia (place of colonial mansions) make bread & grow olives to help support their little community, but the naughty little buggers also make wine & port, which we can state with authority, are both very nice, though I think the port
MORE ROCKS!
Karamina Gorge, Karijin has been responsible for several very nasty hangovers!!! (Un)fortunately we only bought one bottle, & ran out within about 5 days so we've had to resort to the old rum & hot chocolate - not quite so apealling in 30 degrees of heat.
The camp ground at Karijini was exactly as Matt described, and I mean exactly, hard red rock and nothing else - no flushing toilets, no showers, in fact no running water at all, though they did provide the obligatory gas BBQ!
Next installment will be published soon - we're about 2 weeks behind ourselves, but hope to catch up soon, though we're actually down in Margaret River (wine, cheese & chocolate country) so may be otherwise occupied for a while.
