Ash & Mike head for the hills

The hamersly ranges was our destination. The site of the rocklea dome, which is the geological formation that Ashlie is doing her honours thesis on. We packed up at exmouth and headed east towards the project site. We are in a bush camp around 50kms from our ultimate destination and home for about 5 weeks. Tomorrow we meet with a nearby station manager who is going to show us around the area.

We came across some broken down grey nomads during the day. Dad would have been proud if me as I managed to doctor their vehicle enough to get them the 200 kms to Tom price. I find it incomprehensible that people travel out here with no mechanical knowledge or tools. 

We have a lovely camp and a fire thanks to an early roadside firewood hunt. 

Can you see ashlie doing burpees.

I had a great dinner of fresh trevalea caught last night by our next door neighbor. YUM. Ashlie had a mushroom and an onion. Hmmm

Our camp at the Beasley river. Unfortunately there was no river.
