The last 1800kms Part 1

On our drive from Broome to Newman there was lots of colour in both the flowers and Iron Ore Hills.

Lovely spot. Locals often go kayaking.

On our way again Monday morning.The weather was warm and sunny as we drove towards Meekatharra. Our last stop.

I enjoyed stitching my hexies as we went.
Do you even spear your finger??
OUCH!!        020
I cannot wear a thimble so after sewing sew many hexies I often pierce my finger.

Got to Meeka round 5, set up and had a shower before cooking dinner.

Love the décor

but the showers were clean and the water nice and hot.

Ate our dinner did dishes and early to bed.

Part 2 tomorrow or should I say later today. I am off to my OWN BIG bed as it is 1am.

  1. It must be wonderful to take such a long vacation. Here in America, it is rare to take off more than one week at a time. Your scenery is so beautiful, I would have taken zillions of photos. Thanks for sharing the entire trip!

  2. Welcome home!!!! I am sure that bed felt fabulous. You saw so many beautiful sights on your wonderful trip.

    Ouch....I can't wear a thinble either. If I put one on, I find I use the next finger over so I stab myself all of the time too.

  7. Welcome home. Great photos to remember your trip by and a book would be a good idea.
    I agree with Blue...there's nothing quite as sexy as a Haulpack. I'd put my shoes under one any day.

  9. That machinery sure is big- love all the colours in your photos. I can't get used to wearing a thimble so like you end up with the needle going into the end of my finger- I need to find a thimble to suit and persevere i suppose...
