Only drove 90km today. I love the colours, red (earth) and green (vegetation) with the occasional small ridge. Stopped late morning at the Barradale 24hr Rest Area on the Yannarie River. Large area with shady trees along the banks of the dry river bed. It was almost empty so I could choose a nice spot under the gums. Made some brunch, hung out my washing and slept for a few hours on my stretcher in the back of the car with the door open and a cool breeze blowing. Only the sound of the birds and the trucks in the distance. Still haven't managed to get rid of a niggling headache. Note to self: Drink more water. A lot more people had pulled in by the time I woke up but I still have my own little area under the trees.
Met Jude and Leo who are heading to Karijini and who gave me some info on Karijini and Karratha. Put my mozzie net up and slept in the car. Left the back door open.
