When I was 19, my cousin and I climbed the sheer rock face of "The Bluff" near Murchison settlement. The view from the top was magnificent. My uncle drove the back way to the top and picked us up.
We stayed with some locals and had a great time. I can't find The Bluff on any maps, though. I love that area of the world. Enjoy your trip.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

Thanks Jack, we spent last night down at Boggy Hole (great drive) & have just lobbed into Hermansberg before going to palm valley, & unexpectedly found we had reception. It's possible we *may* get reception at small communities between here & Newman, WA, but I wont hold my breath.
Since the last blog entry we camped a night alongside the Hugh River (dry) in the West Macs. It was even colder! Water pipes in the Patrol froze solid & tool trays in the under canopy compartment froze onto the aluminium & couldn't be got out for an hour or so after the sun was on the car. (Was warm enough in the Tvan though). Found the wadding from an old sleeping bag alongside a track down to boggy hole, cut it into strips & lagged the external pipes using a roll of green masking tape I had. Looks pretty awful, but it stopped the pipes freezing this morning, whilst water left out overnight in a bucket was frozen solid. Surprisingly we got to an altitude of around 630 metres a bit out of Alice which probably explains the cold.
