Return to Newman Rocks

The only wildlife I saw at the waterhole, Newman Rocks W.A.

We left Coolgardie and headed off to Norseman to refuel and have lunch before setting out for Newman Rocks where we free camped on the way over. This time we made it into camp quite early so were able to explore the rock formation a bit more. Natural depressions provide waterholes after rain periods and some pastoralist had even built a concrete wall on the last soak to make it a semi-permanent water hole.

Another beautiful wildflower at Newman Rocks W.A.

Apparently the area teems with wildlife but, as I was cooking dinner< I couldn’t go down to catch any wildlife at dusk . It will be a rather hot night indoors tonight as the temperature reached 33 degrees today with a blustery wind. The wind has gone now and its very pleasant sitting out under the stars
