Kimberleys Trip 23 June 2019

My thermometer said it was -1.6oC! But at least there was no wind. Darryl didn't believe me about the temperature but we spoke to a truckie who pulled up and he said it was -1oC in Winton. We packed up pretty early and left by 8:10am, seeing our first sheep after the jump-ups about 60km north of Winton. 


Roly-poly grass caught on the fenceposts

Dead flat out here




Flocks of finches were warming themselves on the road, a pair of Bustards were looking around, and we also saw Grey storks in a waterhole, Pelicans in a dam, and a sole Emu in a flat paddock. There were lots and lots of dead roos and wallabies, but we did see one live one sheltering under a tree. Pair of grey brolgas on a red fire-break looked stunning. We set up camp at Drummond Range lookout. 





A few other trucks and a van came in but they were only looking at the lookout and we ended up being the only ones at the spot. We were able to have a fire which was enjoyable.
