Day 5 - Three Pools to Garden Pool Nullagine
Sunday, 27 May 2012
Morning has broken yet again bringing another lovely day! Moving on I am amazed at the mining tracks. It is as if a large net has been dropped over the whole area and a bulldozer has gone through carving out a grid of roads. When will it stop? Will there be any hills and gorges left in the Pilbara in 50 years time?
Nearly had a heart attack a few minutes down the road after having taken Doug for a walk when I realised I had lost my glasses! Chauffeur dutifully drove me back and we retraced my steps through the spinifex, just about to give up when chauffeur nearly trod on them, phew!
Managed to stay on the 'main track' through to the Marble Bar road, no easy feat with the thousands of exploration tracks! In to Newman for supplies and back track north to Nullagine.
Quite a long stretch of Tarmac, but then we his the gravel and ate the dust of a road train for half an hour. Fond a beaut little spot just outside Nullagine at Garden Pool and settled in for the night, enjoying fives's with a game of boules - chauffeur 10, Michael 9 and she who is chauffeured only 6.
