Just got back from four weeks up in the Pilbara region of WA.
Our general trip was;
Perth - Wiluna - CSR - Durba Springs - Georgia Bore - Rudall River - Desert Queen Baths -
Skull Springs - Running Waters - Carawine Gorge - Marble Bar - Newman - Gregory's -
Cleaverville - Karatha - Old Onslow - Kennedy Ranges - Steep Point - Perth
I won't bore you with lots of typing, just a few highlights.
The CSR - We only did the southern section, but its a great experience, and will definitely be back
to do the full run sometime.
Running Waters and Carawine Gorge - Simply lovelly spots that require a 'rest day' to enjoy the
location at each.
Mt Meharry - A nice drive to the top of the highest point in WA. 30+ minutes of low range second
gear, loose shale type rocks, a few step ups, fun drive.
Gergory's - A great location near Millstream, but without the tourists. Skip the weekends though as
it's popular with the locals for a weekend camping.
Kennedy Ranges - The well know east side of the ranges is nice, but take the track up and over the
top of the ranges, and down the eastern side for a totally different (and I think better) experience.
Steep Point - Great beaches, beaut swimming, and fantastic fishing.
Anyhow, that enough typing, here are a few pics.
