The Gibson Desert, an interim Australianbioregion, covers a large dry area in the state of Western Australia and is still largely in an almost "pristine" state. It is about 155,000 square kilometres (60,000sqmi) in size, making it the 5th largest desert in Australia, after the Great Victoria, Great Sandy, Tanami and Simpson deserts.
Location and description
The Gibson Desert is located between the saline Lake Disappointment and Lake Macdonald along the Tropic of Capricorn, south of the Great Sandy Desert, east of the Little Sandy Desert, and north of the Great Victoria Desert. The altitude rises to just above 500 metres (1,600ft) in places. As noted by early Australian explorers such as Ernest Giles large portions of the desert are characterized by gravel-covered terrains covered in thin desert grasses and it also contains extensive areas of undulating red sand plains and dunefields, low rocky/gravelly ridges and substantial upland portions with a high degree of laterite formation. The sandy soil of the lateritic buckshot plains is rich in iron. Several isolated salt-water lakes occur in the centre of the region and to the southwest a system of small lakes follow paleo-drainage features. Groundwater sources include portions of the Officer Basin and Canning Basin.
Happy Near Year all - let's hope we all have a bit more freedom this year.
In this episode we visit Lake Hancock, Mulgan Rockhole and McPhersons Pillar - all within the Gibson Desert Nature Reserve.
We start off at Geraldton Bore - Once we are within the border of the reserve along the Gunbarrel Highway - We turn to the north.
There are no tracks here, so we must find the best way forward ourselves.
Once the dry lake is reached we head across to the Gary Highway - then drive the track to Mulgan Rockhole and McPhersons Pillar.
The reserve has recently undergone management changes and is now known as Pila Nature Reserve.
Note that we visited the reserve prior to the management changes.
Part 1 of 2; Enjoy!!

Servicing a Gnamma in the Gibson Desert
We came across a gnamma in the Gibson Desert which had not probably been serviced for 50 or more years. We serviced it and now it will supply the native animals and birds with water after the rains.
