Jase and Simon continue to make their way through the beautiful Pilbara as they trek from Newman to Port Samson by way of a speccy gorge with directions from a local. It’s a day of water crossings ranging from steppy and rocky to deceptively deep. The marble-like river gravel on the banks challenges every entry and exit. And when the directions say to take a left down the creek bed, Jase goes down the creek bed. There’s some hasty winching to save the camera gear from a watery demise. Out comes the chainsaw to clear the hidden exit from debris so Simon can have a slightly easier time getting through with the caravan. Best to go set up camp and dry out, luckily there is a different vehicle that Jase can hop into later while the carpet finishes airing out!
