There are no strict plans when you travel like this… just a rough direction and wherever the road decides to take you. After a relaxing week camped beside the beautiful Murchison River, we finally hit the road again in search of fuel, water and our next adventure.
What followed was a journey through remote Western Australia along part of the historic De Grey–Mullewa Stock Route, complete with old cattle wells, nervous creek crossings and endless outback scenery.
Our travels eventually led us to Bilung Pool — a stunning permanent waterhole on the Wooramel River surrounded by red earth, river gums and incredible birdlife. But Bilung Pool is far more than just another free camp. Known to the Wajarri people as Birlungardi, this sacred place is deeply connected to Dreamtime stories and the Rainbow Snake, Gujida.
This is the kind of slow travel we love most — remote roads, peaceful camps, history, wildlife and discovering places we never expected to find.
