14/9/22 Ellendale to Nillibubica RA

 


    Here's the aerial view of the lagoon , with another inmate arriving top right .


 

    Leaving Ellendale Lagoon , we head out towards Derby , coming across the Erskine Range and a Boab.


    Speaking of Boabs , this rest area we stopped at has a very large one !!


    It also had something we hadn't seen before - or forgotten 🤔 - a Boab flower !!


   This section of the highway is probably the worst part - from Fitzroy Crossing to Derby Hwy intersection that is . The heat haze made the photo a tad blurry as it rolled up & down the hill .


    Fires have been burning a lot - which is a blessing in disguise , as it lets you see things you normally wouldn't be able to ! 


   At the intersection with Derby Hwy , is probably the most photographed Boab in Australia , and to keep that rolling here's another photo of it .


   There are numerous termite mounds around the place , here's some more of them - about 2m tall and 3m across .


   Another spot I've been meaning to stop and have a look at , is Fitzroy River , so today was the day . We stopped on the northern side and I got out and walked the 100 m across the bridge to get to the water - no crocodiles today though !! 


    And here comes Lyn and our home across the single lane bridge .


  There are millions of these around the Kimberley - looks like a huge graveyard .


    We kept going towards Broome and stopped at Nillibubica Rest Area for the night . Here's map link :-https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1P7pgfenSHi3WJw05yHybMQs5n_VXDP8&usp=sharing
