I think it's time for a new topic! It looks like we have indeed arrived in Hidden Valley, ending the southward drive from the Kimberley. It's time to take a right turn, heading west-southwest in valley floors, paralleling the black basaltic dunes, until we reach Murray Buttes.

What a scene!!! That big layered guy with the white highlight at 1 o'clock from the POV is just begging for a close-up...the surrounding dunes look a bit forbidding, though.
