As soon as we crossed into WA and adjusted our watches back 1 ½ hours, both the landscape and the temperature changed quite dramatically. It is very much hotter in WA and the days are so different with daylight at 5.30am and it is dark by about 5.30pm. Andrew now has his wish and I get up at 6.00am (he would prefer 5.30am) in order to escape the heat of the day on our walks etc and also to escape the flies. These infernally irritating creatures work to rule, not coming out till the first heat of the day about 8.00am and disappearing at about dusk. The rest of the time they are relentlessly bothering one. I have to admit that it is better to rise early in these circumstances. The heat is very noticeable and it is also unseasonably hot here in the Kimberleys.
The above photo was taken from a climb Andrew did just south of Lake Argyle looking down on our fee camping. There are Max and Priscilla at the bottom.
Our walk in Mirima (Hidden Valley) National Park.
The landscape here is like a minitature of the Bungle Bungles, I gather.
