Our next stop was lovely Milstream National Park with it's wonderful old homestead of which this is the kitchen built away from the actual house so that if it catches fire then the whole lot doesn't go up.
Milstream in this area is a spring and the pond was sooooo green after everything else that we have seen.

Flowing water at Milstream so fresh and green

Oops done it again double dipped with this one.




New friends Denise and Keith, lunch at Milstream camp-ground.




At the end it was all worth it a delightful fern grotto and huge river gums, time for a rest!!





Hammersley gorge the colors and rock formation here where lovely, but hard walking or rather climbing for most of the walk.






Beautiful Hammersley Gorge, we walked the first 2K's and it took us 2hrs (which is slow for) it was challenging to say the least. We meet another young couple Mat and Michelle which added to the fun.







On our way out to Mt Sheila we ran into one of their big, long, heavy ore trains.








Escarpment on the way up Mt Sheila.









From the top of Mt Nameless looking down on the mine. We can't pronounce the aboriginal name for Mt Nameless so we still with the Aust version.










Bill acting the nanny at the town park/lake but you can't swim here it's too close to their sewage plant, at least it was nice and green and the birds loved it.











Sunset from Mt Nameless












Tom Price town centre was very tidy and quiet green which made a nice change.




























After Karijini we headed for Tom Price and of-course another mine tour this one we got to get up close to some of the biggggg buckets.















Pretty local at the caravan park -Tom Price these little fellas where chewing our electric cords we needed eyes in the back of our heads talk about naughty kids!!!
Storm brewing over Tom Price we didn't get any rain this time just wind.

















Looking down on the caravan park


































Mt Bruce as we came out of Karijini we had planned on climbing it but the weather was against us the clouds where getting lower and lower.
