Derby to Ellendale rest area - 170km

Today was an interesting drive to Ellendale.  This is termite country and there are literally hundreds of thousands of termite mounds dotted across the countryside.  There are also a lot of boab trees along the highway.  They are such fascinating trees - I wish they grew in Victoria.

The weather is perfect for travelling at this time of the year.  Apart from some humid weather recently in Broome when it rained a couple of nights, the skies are now cloudless.  The daily temperature is about 28 degrees dropping to 12 to 15 degrees at night which is great for sleeping.
