June 18th - The Gary Junction Road - Day 2 Cont.

We continued driving west towards Kiwirrkurra and on the way stopped at the site where Len Beadell’s ration truck was destroyed by fire.


One of the cans of food from the ration truck?
We filled up with fuel at Kiwirrkurra and then checked out what was left of the ration truck which was moved into it’s current location to stop it being vandalised by passing tourists.
Spare a thought for those who have no choice but to pay this price.




Yes it does rain out here in the desert.


A sandy section of road.

We called in to see Jupiter Well and decided to camp there as it was such a nice place. As we were early we cooked ourselves a roast dinner on the campfire.
Bob about to taste the water. It was beautiful.

The hand pump at the well.
