THIS  TRIP WAS CARRIED OUT ON THE RETURN RUN FROM CAPE LEVEQUE IN JULY 2001. THE ROUTE WAS FROM SHAY GAP THROUGH TO TELFER DOWN THROUGH THE PATTERSON RANGE TO THE RUDALL RIVER NATIONAL PARK  EXITING VIA THE TALAWANA TRACK TO NEWMAN. HEAVY RAINS WERE EXPERIENCED ON ENTRY INTO THE PARK WHICH MADE THE TRACK VERY BOGGY. THE WEATHER WHILE IN THE PARK WAS OVERCAST BUT QUITE PLEASANT.
