Unforgettable WA landscapes

Driving through WA, the empty highways and the distances between habitable settlements , you are aware of the size of this, Australia's largest, by size, state. WA spans an area of 2.5m sq kms covering one third of the continent. It's population is just over 2m which is around one tenth of the total Australian population.

But the landscape is so variable and quite magical. The above photo is another shot of the coast of the Pilbara. The rust-red landscapes have to be seen to be believed.

This photo is of the morning mist at De Grey River, one of the delightful free rest areas of WA. It was one of the best rest areas we camped at, so much so that we stayed for two nights.

The begining of the mighty Hammersley Range.


This is another favourite free rest area, at the East Munjina Gorge Lookout.
