Woke up at the bush camp to another hot
breakfast - this time Porridge and Egg in Toast - yummy
|
|
Drove one hour to Imintji store - for a
break - loo break and food break. Long line for the one public toilet. Pictured below
(soon!).
|
|
Drove to Winjana Gorge and set up camp
and had lunch.
|
|
Then off to Tunnel Creek for a walk
through the Creek which runs through a limestone tunnel. Had to wear swimmers and sandals
and take torches. Was lots of fun as we waded through the dark waters, trying to avoid
submerged logs and rocks. And hoping that we would not find anything alive!! Some swam in
the large pool in the centre, which had a warm spring on one side. Saw tree roots from the
ground above. At the other end of the tunnel, we came out at a beautiful pool surrounded
by trees and rocks. Another magic place (Yes, I know, that adjective is over worked!).
Refreshed by more of Hodgy's fruit cake, we made our return trip through the tunnel.

Back to the campsite and dinner -
spaghetti bolognese and damper. The only problem was that there was not enough flour for
the damper, so Marcel had to knead the sticky dough for ages, til Hodgy went and
asked for some flour from some other campers.
|
|
The campsite had cold showers - but at
least they had showers, our first showers for 3 nights. There were toilets as well, not
even drop ones!
|
|
After sunset, we actually had half an
hour before the moon rose so that we could actually see the stars. This was the only time
during the whole trip that we could see the stars as the moon was full and bright every
night.
|
|
Then we had the Worm Race.
This is a secret. Don't tell anyone about it. But after much hesitation about whether to
have the race, Hodgy said OK, then he went and entered it and won it!!!!
Unfortunately my photos are so dark, you can't see what is happening. If anyone has better
photos, please send them to me.

We all sat and laughed and joked around
the campfire on our backless camp stools. Making jokes about the campers in the other
campsites - especially the ones with camp chairs with backs! After the other campers
complained about the noise we were making, we somehow seemed to make more, but eventually
we all drifted off to bed. Our last night.
