Just  a few words from Graham as he and Trish travel through the top end of Australia.....

Our trip goes very well and just about everything has gone to plan.  5220 Ks covered.  And a few to go.  Currently in Denham on the coast. (over 800ks north of Perth)
WA is huge and it seems everything here has a similar flavour.

Lake Argyle is vast. NW corner fo WA. It is claimed that if they lifted the 300m long dam out, it would take 2-3 years to drain it.
We visited the Tom Price Mine.  Huge.  Rio Tinto servicemen have over 700 ks of conveyor belts to maintain, the longest almost 40 ks.  (80 ks of belt!)
The roads we have driven on are (mostly) divine!  
The sunsets are amazing.
80 Mile Beach is in fact 137 miles long!
The iron ore trains are well over 2 k’s long.
We dont argue with road trains—53.5 meters long and as heavy as——carrying up to 155 tonnes of ore. 

Tell everyone to start planning their trips for next winter—you will NOT be disappointed.

A WA sunset—they happen everyday over here(!)—and are particularly red and colourful in the winter—or that’s when we have seen so many of them.

Lake Argyle

Zebra rock ( in hand) striped rock thought to have been formed 5-600 million yards ago in molten rock and which formed these amazing types of patterns.  Only found in 2 or 3 secret places, one of which is sunken well below Lake Argyle.  cf a lava-lamp effect.

A Fogbow—a rare atmospheric phenomenon which we were very lucky to experience

Rocky outlines at Barn Hill Station, about 120 k’s south of Broome
