Great Central Road, from WA to the NT (08-10 October)

After the detour to Yeo we hit the Great Central Road again. It was a long, straight, repetitive drive but there were some features to break up the monotony.


Randomly discovered rock art.

Wedge Tailed Eagles and a not-quite abandoned homestead (7 October)



Leaving Laverton, we found a couple of Wedge Tailed Eagles feeding off a carcass on the side of the road, and stopped to harass them. The big mama in the photo was HUGE, with a wing span that could have been 2 to 2.5m.


 We finally got onto the Great Central Road, and officially left civilization and cheap diesel ($1.99 at Laverton, $2.33 on the road!) behind.
Unexpectedly good condition of the road.
