Up at 4.30 this morning to go for our scheduled walk,
preceded by an unwelcome swim across the Manning River to access our walk. Poor planning I’d say!!
It was quite good though, Luke promised it would be, maybe
he was right!! A walk to the Manning
River Falls, over rocks and though creeks to the most divine waterhole so
far. Jumped in and swam over to the
waterfall and you could almost touch the rainbows coming from the water spray. Luke located a red necked turtle and we could
see black bream in the water. Got a good
look at some ancient Aboriginal art before doing it all over again to get back
to the camp site. A long drive along the
last of the gravel section (about 600kms) of the Gibb River Road to get to our
camp site at ElQuestro for a two night stay, any possibility of sleeping in
tomorrow?? Luke says no!!

ReplyDeleteI am positive that I commented here. I have finally worked out that I have to log into our Google account before I comment otherwise the comment I write goes off into the wild blue yonder! You might even see it as you are walking along. Keep an eye out for them as they are out there somewhere :)
