Just heading for bed after spending a very pleasant evening round Elaines fire with the people we are travelling with at the moment. They are a couple from NSW in a van and a lady from Vic in a motorhome. We are camped alongside the south branch of the Gascoyne River, some water but not flowing!

Today we had a good look around Meekathara, had  morning tea by the creek then drove up here. Other than passing another big open cut there was nothing much to see.

The road is very busy with lots of oversize loads, mainly minning equipment, heading south. Shortly after we settled in here, to be precise just before dusk, 2 big trucks carrying haulpaks and there escorts pulled in for the night. Apparently they are not allowed to have these big loads on the road after dark. I had a chat with the guys and they are apparently moving 200 items belonging to McMahons fron the Christmas Creek Mine. Considering what these toys toys are worth and the cost of these huge trucks plus escorts there is a lot of money on the road!

I also tried, once again, unsuccessfully to add photos to my blog but somehow I can't do it on the iPad.
