What a pretty spot to wake up to. Sitting down having breakfast watching the birds come in to the waterhole and have a drink.
All packed up and back on the road, next destination Wolfe Creek Meteroite Crater. 130 klm off the Great Northern Highway and 130 back again. The road is corraguated in places, but there was a big section where they were grading it so was nice and smooth for James.
We got there about midday and as miss 4 yr old was STARVING!!!!! we had lunch first before heading up to the top of the crater. We made it to the top of the crater ok, just a little rocky track, but the track down in to the crater was quite steep and as I had my ice skates on (runners just about worn out the tread on them now) I didnt want to go down, so Rena and I sat on the top whilst James started going down (geocache down there so you know where James was going).
Well James made it to the bottom and Rena didnt want to be left out, so she headed down the hill, me in tow (she kept telling me Mummy you can do it, Ill help you). Well James came back up (we were half way down by this time) and took Rena the rest of the way whilst I waiting in the only shade on the side of the crater.
James left Rena standing at the bottom whilst he went off and did the geocache, and Rena didnt like being on her own, so she started to climb back up the side again, so with my ice skates on I tried to go down to help her. Luckily for me, Rena is a good rock climber and made it back up to me without much hassel and we carefully made our way back up to the top of the crater, before heading back down to the car again.
When James came back (geo coin in hand) we headed back down the Tanami track to the Great Northern Highway and back to Mary Pool for the night.
We got there at about 4.30pm and set up in the same spot as the other night. Still just as busy with lots and lots of caravans. Although the dump point was full and the smell if outside and the wind blowing the wrong way made for an unpleasant experience it was still a nice spot for the night.
Tomorrow on to Geikie Gorge and the boat trip with Rena and then head towards Broome. Really really looking forward to speding a few days and nights chilling out at Quondong Beach :)
