Murchison River Source Expedition

Day 1
Thursday 9 August 2007
Perth to south of Paynes Find


We left Midland in Phil’s vehicle at 5.00 p.m. Stopped at Wubin to refuel and had a late dinner. We then headed off to a campsite Phil had recorded in his GPS log about 70 kilometres north of Wubin.

Around 9.30 p.m. the arrow on the GPS display told us that we had found the spot and Phil turned off the bitumen onto a bush track. After a bit of scouting around for a campsite with a suitable supply of firewood and sufficiently distant from the Highway we achieved consensus (no arguments, no contretemps, no disagreements - we achieved consensus), and soon had a campfire underway.

The three of us chatted away around the campfire with contemplation of this way of life as a full time endeavour being foremost in our thoughts. We told lies until midnight, when we turned in.

Total distance travelled - 395 kilometres.
