    Great video and it brought back memories for me of my younger years. In the late 1970s/80s me and a mate left our hometown of Liverpool, England to go travelling and after some time and adventures use found ourselves in Newman WA. The drone shots of Leonora reminded my of the red dust that was every where. When they built Newman the construction teams lived in the Con (Construction) camp which became overflow accommodation later when the single men's quarters were full. The con camp looked a lot like the Mining camp. I'm back home in Liverpool now so thanks for bringing back the memories.

    Payne's Find is a great place to see W.A.'s brilliant wildflowers in the right season. It's a wonder you haven't seen them. Yes, gates do cause a lot of wind drag, that's why some employers in the distant past demanded that you tarp an empty trailer if you left the gates up (also to look like they had freight when they didn't).

Looks like Wiluna might be the end of the bitumen . Is the road from there west to Meekatharra bitumen or dirt ? I like the music you add in . I know it is old school , but I am a big Slim Dusty fan . I been up Nulla creek to his boyhood home, They were still building the Slim Dusty Centre then ! I'll make it back! Again , great videos.
