In June/July 1997, myself and 11 friends travelled in three cars up into the north of Western Australia, visiting Coral Bay, Exmouth, Karratha, Port Hedland, Millstream & Karajini National Parks and a stack of other beautiful places. All up, my car travelled some 6,000kms over two weeks, while the other two cars spent an extra week visiting Fitzroy Crossing, Geiki Gorge, Tunnel Creek and other places. These photos were all taken by my good friend Michel Kripalani (CEO of Presto Studios) who came over from San Diego just for this trip.
