Halls Creek (20/5/12 - 22/5/12)

We left the Bungle Bungles Caravan Park with big smiles on our faces - a great time was had by all.

A 110 kilometre drive south brought us to Halls Creek.  We booked into the Halls Creek Caravan Park for two nights.  Our memory of Halls Creek was not too flash, but we were keen to visit Wolfe Creek Crater, so really needed to stay.  We realised after a little time here that it wasn't as bad as we remembered.

On our first afternoon we took a short drive from Halls Creek to Moola Bulla Station, where our sister in law Sally lived as a young child.  We have heard lots about Moola Bulla so were keen to see it for ourselves, well the front gate anyway!

A 15 kilometre drive east of Halls Creek took us to Old Halls Creek.  We spent a while having a walk around the original town and the cemetery.  There were remains of the post office, some street signs and a few other buildings.  Back toward Halls Creek was China Wall, a white quartz formation said to resemble the Great Wall of China, albeit a lot smaller.  We had a look from the car as we were too lazy to walk to it.

On our second day, we took a day trip to Wolfe Creek Crater (see separate post).  Once back in Halls Creek, we visited the cemetery, racetrack and rodeo arena, the yards of which were built by Sally's Dad.
