Since our trip across the top of Australia that come to an end in May (yes, that is 4 months ago!) we have not done any camping. A trip, any trip, was well overdue. The Yilgarn has not disappointed us yet and with the summer coming the window for a visit was closing fast.
Our mode of travel has changed again – we have now upgraded to the spaciousness of a Suzuki Jimny (yep, the one we acquired as a pull-a-long for the trip across the top). It requires careful packing to get all the necessities on board.
Three vehicles participating after a slew of others dropped off in the run-up…

First night stopover was at Baladjie Rock. We were not the only people there but everyone else seemed to favour the southern end while we were at the north.
