DAM
![]()
The dam that has created the headwaters of the Ord River.
POOL PERFECTION
![]()
Not a bad way to relax after a day checking out the lake & its surrounds. This place is still only visited by a few grey nomads & the odd tourist but you can feel that this is about to change. The parks owner has big visions for the place & with such beauty on offer it won’t be long before visitors arrive in executive choppers & dine in a flash restaurant before returning to their seven star suites.
THREE MONTHS

We had spent just over three months in WA. So many great memories. Such a great state; with plenty of go forward, such beauty, much diversity & great people. We were back into the territory & excited for some new adventures.
‘BULLO RIVER’ SIGN POST
![]()
Does anyone remember a television advertisement for women to come forward & have breast screening. Yeah that’s right, the one where this tuff lady of the outback is leaning on a cattle yard fence a tells you that if you haven’t had a screening “then you bloody well ought too!” I always remember that she was from Bullo River Station in a place far, far away. As we drove along there it was, the sign, & yes it is, far, far away.
KATHERINE

Katherine is a large town that links travellers from the west, the east & the south as they make their way north to Darwin. I recall that upon entering the town we encountered the first traffic light we had seen for about three thousand kms. Katherine has much to offer the traveller but we decided to book into a couple of National Park camps & explore the surrounds.
