| Broughton Waterhole |
Roger went for a run in the morning and came face to face with a very large red kangaroo who looked like he was ready to box! We set off about 11.00 a.m. and drove through Nhill and then west to east through the Little Desert on deep sandy 4WD tracks.
We got to our campsite at Broughton Waterhole about 2 p.m. and had lunch. It was a lovely spot in the bush with a cleared area and waterhole, but plenty of shade. We put the awning up on the campervan for the first time and sat under its shade. We needed it as it was 32 degrees in the shade and the thermometer was showing over 50 in the sun! When it got cooler we went for a 6 km walk to Mount Turner. It’s an exaggeration to call it a mountain, as it’s only about 382 meters high, but it gave good views in all directions of the scrub land of the Little Desert. The waterhole looked lovely at sunset and some birds came to drink but we didn’t see any other wildlife there.
WILDLIFE: Kangaroos, Rose Robin, Emus, Galahs, Sulpher Crested Cockatoos, Buzzard
