Early start on the 31st July, on my way to Parry’s Creek which had been recommended to me as a nice camp site to stay at for a couple of days, I did in fact stay for 3 nights as I was very tired after the Bungle Bungle trip and needed a quiet time to recover.
I first made my way to Wyndham to stock up on food again. nothing much there apart from one very expensive tiny supermarket that had the monopoly for 160km.
Some pictures from a viewpoint there.
The layer of iron can be seen on the tops of the hills, which erodes much more slowly.
They call this “The big croc” at this point I think I had seen all the highlights of Wyndham so I continued to Parry’s Creek camp site where I was not disappointed.
The camp site was very large with loads of space and only $15 a night for a powered site, I could have had unpowered for $8 but my the van batteries as well as my own needed recharging and this was an ideal spot to relax walk and read a book for a couple of days.
There was a small shop a bar and restaurant, they had a pizza night one evening and a fish and chip night another, very reasonable prices, that was 2 nights I did not need to cook. The fish was local caught barramundi and was excellent. I met some very nice people there as well.
There was a small boab tree forest with a nice 2.5km walk around it one side flanked by the creek.
A nice monitor lizard he must have been at least 1.5m long, he just sat and posed for the camera.
The billabong was further down the creek and was full of wildlife. Not all of it good!
On 3rd August I moved on with a certain sadness but refreshed to the nearest town Kununurra which was about 160km away.
