Early start again to get more km’s down..
Headed out to Big Bell, a gold mining town that grew to 600 people and they all left pretty much over night when the promised gold didn’t surface..there is only 2 building standing and the massive hotel, art deco style is still standing… explored around here for a while then off to Walga Rock… WA’s claim of Uluru size.. well not really but still impressive… Aboriginal art all around..some of dubious origin…headed north again towards our next stop Newman.
Roadworks stalled our progress, so much so Tom decided to engage in conversation with the traffic management staff over the 2 way radio..
Passing through Meekatharra and other un notable towns , passing the Tropic of Capricorn just before Newman..
Setup camp and already notici
