The road trip is under way. Broome to Mary Pool, 580km. This late in the dry season the countryside is extremely dry. Vast swathes of bush have burned this year, the willy willies are black with soot rather than the standard light grey.
Top temperature today was 35°C (95°F).
The camp site is on the bank of a dry river. There is usually a sizeable pool here. At the moment that is completely dry. I did manage to find a puddle up stream by following some Corellas that were going in to land.
Best bird today – Wedge-tailed Eagle.
