We left Carnarvon and headed towards the interior, with a brief stop at Rocky Pool (where there is permanent water) and Gascoyne Junction, where we stock up on diesel.

| This is what the mighty Gascoyne River looks like for the best part of the year |
 |
| At Rocky Pool, the corellas make the most of the water |
 |
| My sister and I enjoy the view… |
 |
| Being Australia, there are always colourful flowers in unlikely places |
 |
| …and Corellas in every tree… |
 |
| And the river often has no water at all |
 |
| …or so much it washed away the town of Gascoyne Junction. It is being rebuilt. A little higher. |
 |
| And the Junction marks the end of the bitumen, the last of the towns… |
Not much fun to get your town washed away by a river which is normally so dry. Hope they are building high enough. Although, logically, I know they do, I can't imagine rivers drying up like that.
