After a restock in Hall’s Creek, which was remarkably sedate after what we had heard the previous evening, we headed north along the Great Northern Highway for 110 km’s until the turnoff in to Mabel Downs Station and the access road to Purnululu N.P.
The road is for 4wd only, with caravans not allowed and camper trailers at own risk. Needless to say we were a little anxious about what surprises the 60 km trip into the visitors centre might hold. The road was actually a beauty, with delightful scenery as it wound its way through the rugged ranges and grassy hills towards the camping grounds. There were half a dozen creek crossings which were easily negotiable, even with a camper trailer and made the drive more interesting. We managed to complete the 60 km’s in about an hour and 45 mins.
After checking in at the visitors centre we headed for the southern n campground known as Walardi which was a further 12 km from the visitors centre. The campsites were great, with plenty of shade ad although there was not any water in the creeks there was tap water available, pit / drop toilets as well communal fire pits.
