This is cattle country and it is actually fenced, which many parts of the Kimberley are not and you pass through Ruby Plains and then Carranya station to reach the crater. Wallabies were still digging in the salty ground and there was shade and shelter for them inside the crater. Salt patch in the crater with recent digging.
