The first gathering point.
After Hua Yun and his team arrived, they registered their identities.
After registration, they needed to prepare for the second half of the journey, which was the Kimberley Plateau.
There was still some distance to the Kimberley Plateau, with the total journey taking about ten days. The terrain was relatively flat, with hot and dry temperatures, resembling a savanna landscape.
At this point, they needed to move northeast, cross the only road in this area, and head upstream along the Fitzroy River.
Ten days later, when they reached the second gathering point near Fitzroy Crossing, they would need to leave the camels there.
Because from the second gathering point onwards, they would be facing the real Kimberley Plateau.
The rugged terrain of the Kimberley Plateau was not suitable for camels to move forward.
Therefore, many participants chose to leave their camels at the second gathering point, keeping only one or two camels for further advancement.
