Thursday 1st
Today Renas friends moved on, but this time we got their email address so she could keep in touch with them. She also got a photo of them as well.
After saying goodbye we then headed off to do the Windjana Gorge walk. Rena got to see freshwater crocodiles up close and personal. We got to see quite a few crocodiles along the walk.
This time we were not able to go right to the end as the last 1.5 klm was closed due to weed control and also damage from the wet season. This was probably a good thing as it was a really hot walk.
Once we got to the turn around spot, we found a nice bit of shade and sat down and had a drink before heading back to camp.
We got back to camp just after midday so we cooled down first with a fruit ice smooze and then had some lunch.
The rest of the day we relaxed in the shade whilst Rena played or painted.
Tomorrow Tunnel Creek enroute to the Bungle Bungles. I am really looking forward to seeing them again. We have booked our campsite in the northern quiet section again. This is a good spot for the sunset shots (I hope again)
Today has been really hot, so I hope that it cools down a bit before we do the Bungles walks.
Friday 2nd
Today we packed up camp and headed to Tunnel Creek. They have increased the size of the car park, which is in line with the increased number of tourists id say. Alot more cars here than last time we were here. They have also put in a new toilet block.
We did the walk through the tunnel, and Rena really enjoyed it, it was nice to be in the cool air for a while. The tunnel was different inside in places, each wet season flood would change the tunnel in some way.
It is amazing that there is still some formations forming even with it being an open cave and each year the wet season floods roaring through the cave.
After we had finished the walk we headed back to the car and on to Fitzroy Crossing. We called in and got some fuel before heading over to the visitor information centre and waited for the lunch break to be over.
We got some information on the Mimbil Cave Tour but at $160 for the 2 of us it is outside our budget at present so might be a next time item. Why is it that anything indigenous run is so expensive??
We then stopped at the Fitzroy River and had lunch. One of the local school buses came past it is a Canter truck with a bus on the back and bright orange. Will have to try and get a photo to show you.
Back on the road until Mary Pool where we got a spot and set up camp. A very very popular free camp. The toilets needed a good clean and 2 were leaking. The disabled toilet was the only one that was functioning properly and we clean.
Dinner cooked we headed indoors for the night.
