waiting, waiting. . ..

We are currently sitting under a tree at Tom Price, waiting for the diesel truck to arrive. Its quite pleasant, but my patience is getting thinner as the computer battery slowly dies. We have been camping at Karajini National Park in the Hammersley Range in WA. What a lovely place, and you know I had hardly heard of it before we started planning this trip. Then, everyone said 'you must go to Karajini' and now I know why. The campground is very basic - no water, no rubbish bins, little shade, rocks and dirt, but its semi-desert and it soon grows on you. The gorges cut deep below and you have to climb way down to them, but there is permanent water and waterfalls down there. It looks like its all iron ore, like the rest of the Pilbara with red and blue rocks, crushed down by the ages. This photo is of Rock Arch Pool in Kalamini Gorge. We went there yesterday and Alan had a swim, but the water was a bit scummy for me, although it looks pretty inviting in the photo. When the diesel truck arrives, we will go to Millstream Chichester National Park, if we can get there before dark.
