The Devils Marbles was only a quick stop as it was no dogs and Mischief who by the way is much better, would have had to stay in the car park and it was too hot. So a couple of photos and look around and we were off again.
We stopped
at Bonney Well Rest Area on the Bonney Creek for the night, where a well had also been dug for
a watering point for the stock route, later a windmill was put there. Now the
well has been sealed off the tank has burst the side out, and the water troughs
no longer hold water. But they made a good back drop for the photos at sunset.
The old road
is still mostly intact though a new road bridge has been built. At the moment
the creek is dry but the amount of water that comes down it is evident by how
the rocks have been washed over the old road. I looked for some back wash and
holes for evidence of gold, but didn’t find any!
The campsite
filled up by 3pm as it has been a bit warm. 4 vans decided they needed their
air conditioners going so started their generators and had them running until
8:30 – 9pm not impressed!! Then they started them again at 7:30am grrr no
consideration for anyone else sleeping there.
But that`s one of the joy`s of traveling.
We headed
for Tennant Creek arriving after a good run.
