Our first stop after leaving York was Merredin. Back in 2019 we spent a week here awaiting repairs to our camper trailer. It seemed a long week at the time but we couldn’t resist a short visit.
That night we camped at Karalee Rock. In this part of Western Australia harvesting water from large rocks has been elevated to a fine art. Surface water is scarce here. When steam trains were the way to move goods and people water had to be available at many points along the line. At Karalee Rock and many other large rocks water was directed using low walls to a dam. Last time we were here it was pouring with rain which gave me an opportunity to see and film the process in action. You can find the movie <HERE>. This time the weather was fine.
Tonight we are on another rock, Newman Rock, just off the Eyre Highway.
