We awoke to a really heavy fog. But this burnt off really quickly once the sun was up.
We packed up camp and headed west towards Mitchell Falls.
We called in to the lookout that is about half way along, still spectacular views. The are we there yet sign is still on the track too, and they have updated the firewood collection signs too.
Back in the car and next stop the self registration booth at Mitchell Falls Campground. Then on to the campground to set up camp.
Wow they have certainly changed things a bit since last time. We were here when they were building the first ranger accomodation, now there are many.
The helicopted reception area is still the same, although there is a bigger car park now.
The campground has been explanded and there is more toilets. Also a designated generator area too.
After lunch we relaxed for a bit before heading off to Little Mertens Falls and down to the waterhole underneath it for a swim. BEAUTIFUL!!!!
I had another look at the aboriginal art gallery whilst James took Rena down to the waterhole for a swim. AWESOME!! I was just as awe inspired as last time I saw them.
After our swim which was really nice and refreshing we headed back to camp. Will be an early night as we need to get up early tomorrow to do the walk out to the falls, definitely do not want to walk out there in the heat of the day, it will be a long slow walk back tomorrow with a tired Rena, but will be worth it :)
