Days 52-54, Monday 2 – Wednesday 4 August
Leaving Tom Price , driving West, and dropping around 200 metres we went to a station stay in a private site in a Gorge. Cheela Plains Station is a large cattle run that has a side business in tourism as it covers some remarkable terrain in the Pilbara. We spent two nights camped alongside the ‘Mussel Pool’ in a gorge on the Beasley River .

Wednesday morning an early pack up and drive to Exmouth . Copped a rock on the Amarok windscreen on Highway 136 about 50 Km short of the North West Highway ( National 1) @ Nanutarra . Star spread into a crack across the driver’s side windscreen by the time we arrived in Exmouth . Will try and risk manage it until a planned service in Perth later this month.
Plan for tomorrow is a humpback whale swim tour for Mark and a Snorkelling tour on Ningaloo Reef for Ness. Reason for the divergent itineraries is one is inside the fringing reef and one on the open ocean …and one of us gets quite seasick on occasion…
