Boab rest area

by in Trip, Western Australia

The scenery is becoming less hilly and more plain. That’s a pity as many kilometers with shrubs and termite mounds gets boring pretty fast.

Then we see a viewpoint and stop for a dog pee and scenery.

Our next stop is at Fitzroy Crossing for some fuel and then Marjo sees a sign for Geiki Gorge, the only attraction in the Kimberley’s that is accessible without 4WD. It is not bad but we are quite a bit disappointed about what there is to see from the Kimberley’s through the Great Northern Highway. If you ever decide to “do the Kimberley’s” make sure you can see it via the Gibb River road (dirt).

Looking at these pictures there seems to be an “ebony and ivory” effect.

We follow the endless road.

And Nossi enjoys the view from the back.

Then we come to a rest area where people sit with fly nets over their head and where there is no shade. We do a short tour and decide to move on, another 90 km to the Boab rest area. This better be good. And it was!

The tree must have been formed over years from a circle of trunks and then grown together. Now it’s hollow and Nossi is curious.

And then wants to run when he sees me there.

Marjo is more interested to join me.
