August 6, 2009 Heading North

No commentary for this month but here’s a few pics from Perth to Carnarvon.

Xanthorea are quite prolific around the south west of Western Australia. The popular common name was 'Black Boy' because of their bushfire blackened trunks. Nowadays that would probably translate to "Non reflective persons of indeterminate age' so they have become 'Grass Trees'.	The view from the mobile office in the suburbs of Perth.	Moore River 100km north of Perth.	A reminder of simpler times. Fibro holiday cottages by the beach at Horrocks, north of Geraldton on a rather dismal day.
Heading down to Kalbarri	Mobile office (now with BBQ) set up overlooking the Murchison River at Kalbarri.	Kalbarri, Murchison River mouth.	View from the mobile office at Denham on the shores of Shark Bay.
Denham camping ground. The red dirt is covered with white gravel containing small shells.	Heading north towards Carnarvon there's a lot of nothing.	Looking the other way and there's a whole lot more nothing.	Heading toward mining country. Michelin 59/80 R 63 tyres for the biggest Tonka Toys in the world. They weigh around 5 tons and cost over $200,000 each.
