Day 11 - Tanami Track to Wolfe Creek Crater...

After a great sleep at our campsite along the Tanami we packed up and were on the road by about 9 o'clock.

The neighbours in the caravan that we camped with last night later told us that soon after we left a dingo strolled into camp to see what he could find. With only about 280km to get to Wolfe Creek we weren't in a big rush. 

The big change today apart from crossing into WA along with the border crossing the road conditions also seem to deteriorate. From the border to the aboriginal community of Billiluna about 160km west the corrugations were much more full on. However we could still maintain 70 - 80 km/h, we were just getting shaken around more. 

We didn't really need fuel but we pulled into Billiluna anyway for a top up. At $2.60/L I'm glad 23L was all I needed!! Billiluna is the northern end of the Canning Stock Route, so I'm sure we'll be back at some stage to buy their expensive fuel again.

We pulled into Wolfe Creek at bit after lunch and were the first into the campsite so we got the pick of the sites with a good view of the crater. No camp fires allowed here though.
