Cattle Pool and Mount Augustus (Thursday)

Another beautiful morning to wake up to. Steve got up,early to take these shots. We got in late last night so no time to take photos apart from sunset shots - always have time for them! This is on the Gascoyne river.








The boys trying out early morning fishing....not that there were any!


This was Steve's great reflection shot....early morning on the Gascoyne.


Our first stop in the morning was Cobra Station. Everyone hopped out and used a proper loo.....aaah the luxuries!





This was a shot of Mt Augustus from a distance. There's nothing like the contrast of the red and the blue colors in the outback.





Trying to show the height of the Mt against the size of the car...doesn't do it justice though.


We stopped for lunch at Cattle Pool, pretty much opposite Mt Augustus inland a bit. Nice place, but in a national park, so....restrictions, restrictions!





Declan checking out the scenery at Cattle Pool.


This was the shop at Mt Augustus Caravan Park.





The boys figured they'd kill time climbing trees, while we were tanking up with fuel. We had to wait a bit as the guy who ran the shop was having his lunch break.


Walking a trail at Mt Augustus....no, we didn't climb to the summit...we've got kids (that's our excuse anyway, and we're sticking to it!). Plus it's a six hour track up and back and we didn't get there til 12:30 so......pass.


A little gecko the kids found.


Finally found a camp site after a few dramas. We thought we'd found one about an hour earlier, but pretty much got kicked off due to some dude yelling at us to get off his land as they were mustering. We had the option of staying and having bulls charging through our campsite, or going else where...we chose going else where...don't know why :) we ended up camping on Walberg Station.


Steve's effort of a BBQ ... Pretty good I reckon!


Our nightly fire; you can't beat that!!


That's all from us today......
Love the Evans' :-)
