BACK TO PROSPECTING

We headed for the Gascoyne River (Middle Branch) camp where we stopped on the way up. Half way there, I realised I hadn't bought enough milk so we decided to stop at the Kumarina Roadhouse. Well, that was the first time we had stopped there and it will be the last. I bought 2 litres of long life and 2 x 500ml fresh milk (thats all they had) and for that 3 litres of milk - it cost me $15.00. Talk about rip off the travellers. They are stupid for doing it as word travels fast amongst travellers on the road and they are just doing themselves harm.


We finally arrived at the river and set up camp - it was bloody freezing. The temp dropped down to about 25 degC. We had a few thoughts and discussions and decided - bugger this, it's too cold too soon and started heading back north. We thought we could go back to Newman, go across through Paraburdoo and the Pilbara across to the coast, take our time and travel south that way.
