Day 11 - Yulra to Warburton [560 km]

We started early, with the sky looking quite something,,,

The trip was going to be one of those 'look at the world through the windows' ones. There wasn't a lot to see except dry desert countryside (we set off with one last look at Uluru in the distance)

The first stop was at Lasseter's Cave. Harold Lasseter was a gold prospector (and some say a charlatan) who claimed to have discovered a rich golds deposit ('Lasseter's Reef') near the WA/NT border. He perished in the desert. This cave is where he lived alone, for about a month .

What was most attractive to me was the wide river bed (dry) with majestic gum trees.

... And Marg was there too, under a tree...

More dry desert until we reached the border with WA.

WA - here we come!

We thought the sign on the other side of the road looked a bit better though.

In the following list of 'towns' we were to encounter along the way, Warakurna Roadhouse was the next stop (lunch), Warburton Roadhouse (sleep), Laverton (next night), and Kalgoorlie (following night) before heading for Perth.

Warkurna Roadhouse was one of the smaller ones, very indigenous flavoured.

We also had a quick toilet stop (there was no toilet) at a wayside rest before going on to Warburton for the night.

Warburton accommodation is 'inside a compound' but a rest is most welcome.
