Mozzies Around Australia: Day 26 House Creek to Tom Price

The road to Tom Price goes through Paraburdoo and it was pretty quiet on the road till we got closer to these towns. The landscape is changing again to a deep red colour with large mesa and ranges flowing across the countryside. Also have to be careful as the local cattle as there aren’t any fences so came across a few wandering down the highway.

As Karajini has no facilities , we made the decision to stay in the caravan park at Tom Price to top up with everything. That afternoon decided to take the 4WD track to the top of My Nameless which is just outside town. Very steep, very rocky but we did manage to get some good photos from the top. Unfortunately , we ended up with a flat tyre. A rock had punched a hole in the tyre not on the climb mind you but on the track heading back. Very frustrating. Luckily the camp site was grass but Russ ended up being a nice shade of red by the time he had finished. We had ambitions of lounging in the pool for a few hours – that evaporated completely organising to get a tyre fixed.

That evening we met a couple called Steve and Louise. They have just sold up everything and bought a BT50 and a 13 ft hybrid . Never done any caravanning in their life before so jumped boots and all. Left Perth and are now on the road for ????? Had a good chat in the camp kitchen to finish the day.
