Not in a rush , we took our time , finally getting onto the highway , we discovered lots of wildflowers along the way . There were fields of these small Mulla Mulla .
In amongst all those flowers were Sturt desert Peas and lots of them - smaller than usual , but lots of them .
Down the road a bit further we crossed the Sherlock River - one of the rare rivers over here that seems to have water in it most times .
Time for some aerial shots , this area is predominately flat and used for grazing cattle - the horizon here is really wide .
The red gravel & soil make for interesting colours . The tree line is a river / water course .
Wildflowers lining the highway .
You know when you are getting to the Karratha area , all the dark rock covered mountains .
Then a ridge of white quartz that looks a bit pink - due to the red dust .
Roebourne appeared and the first thing you see is the old gaol & wardens houses .
Further towards Karratha and another seam of quartz pokes out of the ground .
We are stopping at Karratha for a few days to catch up with some friends & give our parcel enough time to get to Carnarvon where we will pick it up hopefully !!
