Keep River National Park

We crossed the border almost four months to the date of leaving home. What a huge place Western Australia turned out to be. Despite how big it looked on a map, the sheer size of even our route has been amazing.

Keep River was one of those unplanned stop overs. We found it at the last minute and decided to make a detour. More corrugations and bull dust; why did we ever think we’d left it back on the Gibb? Our new vacuum cleaner has been a godsend!

We spent two nights in the National Park. What a gem of a place. We did a ranger guided walk on a 2km loop around our campsite, Gurrandalng, and learnt a lot about the geography and species of the area. There were a couple of big boulders in the middle of the campsite and the kids spent a lot of time traversing around and climbing over the rocks.

We loved the Jarnem 7km lookout walk which gave us more Bungle Bungle type formations, some Aboriginal rock art and some incredible views from the Escarpment.

The landscape is very dry now and it would be wonderful to experience this place earlier in the season when the water is still flowing.

Onwards to Timber Creek.
