  Anyone travelled the 1000km from Kununurra to Broome. approx 1000km?
  Looking for nice big boab trees to photograph, prefer off the road, no lights,  for a startrail photo.

     Just wondered how common they were?

  thanks

  Yes a couple of times, plenty of Boabs but by the time the stars come out I am usually in a pub pissed, my

  back doesn't do camping anymore, although if I could carry enough beer I would put up with it.

  There are a few spots on the Kununurra side of Bow River that the grey nomads stop off at camping, photo shoots,locals sipping cask wine common as the Boab trees and plenty to see.

  Hi mate

  I’ve done that run 7 times, bloody wonderful. As you know Boabs drop their leaves in the dry season so it depends what photos you were after. There’s many trees and I reckon the best are off the road, ypu’ll See them, and on a bike you can get out there, camp and catch that sunrise/sunset light for great pics.

  On the way down from Broome I reckon Barn Hill Station is worth a look, great red cliffs. So many scenic places on the WA coast. 

  You got me Kimberly dreamin again. 

  If the Pigram Brothers are playing in Broome, don’t miss them, great band.

  yep, i've been looking around for something i can use locally instead of a boab, like a grass tree or a rustic shed/hut.

  Have found nuffin' so far that is suitable. bugger.
