The Pilbara is a harsh mistress ( & she can dish out tough love!)

Cheers Laurie.

Enjoy and travel safe Allan.

Was thinking along those lines myself.

A bit like owning a dog and sitting on the front lawn yourself waiting to bark at the postie.

Alright you two. You know that if it's generally too rough for the car, I park my corpulent backside on the quad and use that! Unfortunately, this country is just that little bit too rugged even for Big Red. Let me tell you, walking is highly over rated.

In 2012, I was exploring with teh quads, the southern side of the Broadhurst Range and tried to find a way through to Explosion and Circular cliffs from there. It was near impossible and couldn't be done from the south. I reckon I might need to come in from the east. Rest assured I won't be walking it ;-)

You won't have troubles with helicopters out here Stu. I stumbled across a video from a bloke named Alan Bradshaw who had hiked into the same area from the south. he parked his vehicle along the Rudall River itself. Man he did it tough as well. I'll try and find that on You tube and link it.

Had the same thing ourselves a couple of years ago, dust and noise from planes and choppers and then along came some students doing a survey....."What do you think of the aboriginality of the park"?
I thought they were jesting but no it was all part of their degree to ask stupid questions.
Mitchell Falls the same, chopper every 6 minutes taking off/landing made the camp during the day very noisy.
Still I suppose the fees/royalties paid to various groups made it all worthwhile.
