The readers of our blog (especially the loyal!) Will have been asked since the last report, where's sly us well. We decided against the Cape region at Cape Leveque, "because we will be at a sufficiently even during our trips to the coast and the other option, the Karijini National Park, located on the other hand, on our route south. We therefore leave our tracks in the deep and narrow canyons of colorful Karijini NP. Of what we on the long road (850 KM) in the area have seen and experienced to act the next lines.
Having at noon on the 22.11.2008 our cause in Broome "finished" (shopping, car fill up, Internet-Cafe-visit) we have - as explained in the introduction - moved towards Karijini NP. The route mainly by straight lines and has to offer neither right nor left great. Only Busch, Busch and Busch again - always the same ... The time we spend with a very "objective" discussion of driver to passenger seat, and vice versa. For evening and night rest, we drive a campsite (the only one in this area) to the Eighty Mile Beach. Actually, we want to camp burn wild, but in the absence of opportunities and we must better or worse, set up on the camp. How do we stop, do not necessarily have it quite displeased that the reception as left when we arrived and was already on the next morning at 8 clock back to "receive payment service" occurs. Since we must continue in all the "dawn", we have paid in these circumstances to be no possibility of the "camping fees. Too bad ... but also enjoys
The sunset is especially on the endless beach and the long car ride, we are glad to bring some "gymnastics" moving again our paralyzed limbs. Even a great and rare sea turtles can be observed in search for a suitable egg-storage place on shore.
The next morning's breakfast is more about Port Hedland towards the hinterland to Karijini NP. In Port Hedland's short lunch break and we fill the fuel tanks once again chock-full of reasonably affordable fuel. The place is all about the iron ore industry, anywhere in the world each year shipped more tons of iron ore in the world than here. Actually, an unsightly and will not be worth mentioning artificial town, yet somehow fascinating. The snow-white salt mountains are impressive.
to the park entrance in Karijini are already 250 to back down again whose 350 kilometers to go. Not exactly jubilant swing ourselves to the well-worn seats of the Land Cruisers. Somehow, we get "the belt" behind us and are in the late afternoon at the park entrance, where, after brief minutes of the orientation is already familiar dialect is heard. The result is a stimulating and information-exchanging communications with another Swiss travel team, consisting of Silvia and Marcel. After 600 kilometers, like endless car waiting for the writer no longer a cold beer from the fridge and board shall be decided mutually to the camp area set up next to each other in order Weiterschwatzens. While extensive and very nice introductory round-install one on the next course of two guys who not only attract more attention. After a brief hello turns out that the men, Reto and Theo are also Helvetic origin. Even more extensive chatting across the seats is a result of this finding. Suddenly all sides of the hunger is rampant, all-refrigerator and content merged together into a gourmet menu. Everyone clearly enjoyed themselves babbling in local dialect the events of the last days of the soul - Swisstalk halt - spontaneously and abundantly, as in the holidays! :-)
With increasing evening and night hours is still Gin (Tonic) served, which caught some players, however, one or the other glass too much. Information about who has caught just is not quite unwittingly fallen victim to censorship of editorial.
