DAY 144 - 11/07/2010 - Karijini, WA & Newman, WA

Last night was absolutely freezing. Today we are leaving Karijini.



We have done all that we want to do here and its time to get out of the cold. We are not sure whether to go back to the coast or further inland to a town called Newman. Newman has the biggest single open cut mine in the world and it belongs to BHP. Warren was interested in doing a mine tour as we've been told its worth a see.

Having left the camp ground we drive out of the National Park and make our way to the main T intersection. Here we decide to turn right towards Newman. Its a little over 150km to Newman and our fuel situation was touch and go the whole way.

As soon as we arrive into Newman and pulled into the BP servo our fuel light came on. Lucky.

We are staying at Kalgans Rest Caravan Park. I must say flushing toilets, showers, electricity, tv reception, internet reception, washing machines and some grass is a welcome change. Still no mobile reception but can live with that.

Tonight we enjoy some home made damper and lentil soup which is perfect for a cold night like tonight.
