The Outback

There has been slightly change of plans, instead of Thursday afternoon we started from Kalgoorlie on Friday morning and hit the last gas station Coolgardie shortly after, I had planed to buy an extra bottle of water there but in the hurry just filled up an forgot about the water.
The first stop was in Boondi rock for a quick breakfast and a look around. Boondi was one of numerous rock catchments in the Great Western Woodlands developed for railway water supplies in the days of steam engines.

Back on the main road we drove about another 6kms before we headed to Ive rock on a well maintained unsealed road.

That became more demanding and less maintained some distance ahead, with sand spots every now and then.

On the way there we shortly stop hat the Jaurdi homestead and around noon we're pitching our tents at the camping ground.

 

John had stored some fuel there the week before and after the bikes were refilled we went for a ride around and visit some old abandoned mines  where I later had the chance to get some additional rain water to drink and John organized a grill grid from the available metal rubbish for the barbecue, he had mentioned something about steak and cold beer on the first night but I actually thought that he meant before we get on the tracks, what a nice surprise.

Imagine that you ride over a hundred on unsealed ground, then you finally come up to a nice sealed road and there are these two traffic signs just before it WTF?

find the dragon :-)

Make an educated guess about which bottle is filled with rain water :-)
