Wittenoom Gorge

Our plan for this evening, after leaving Hamersley Gorge, was to camp at Wittenoom Gorge. We drove past the now-abandoned township and into the gorge, which was marked by asbestos warning signs. 

Asbestos found in the creek bed near our camp.

We were searching for a site with water views, but several of the options we considered would have been too difficult to manoeuvre the van into without risking damage. As it was starting to get late in the day, we drove back towards the old township, where we found access down into a creek bed that allowed me to turn around.

 

I was able to capture some lovely photos and videos with the drone as the sunset painted the cliffs that surrounded us.
