We left Carnarvon at 8.30am, went past the Fairburn Dam on the way to Emerald, the one that was on the news recently with the flood and water pouring over the overflow. It is one huge dam, very muddy at the moment. Also saw another Echidna crossing the road, it was nearly half way across … Continue reading Day 15 – Thurs 11th

This rotten cough is hard to kick, it had another go at me yesterday and last night, had to start off sleeping sitting up. Chris was up at 3am this morning but he can say that bit. While Chris was away I did a big clean up of the van all ready to head off … Continue reading Day 14 – Wed 10th
Day 13 – Tue 9th
Well we did it again, up at 5am, on the track walking by 6.15am. The crossings were much better this time so made the whole walk a lot quicker, out of 9 crossings I only took my shoes off once. Actually more than 9 as there were some other crossing into the Amphitheatre. This time … Continue reading Day 13 – Tue 9th

My friend Judy would be proud, we were up at 5am, left the park just before 6am, and no one was stirring not even a mouse. On the track walking by 6.15am, it was rather chilly. Out of 22 creek crossings up to Big Bend I kept my runners on for 4 of them, the … Continue reading Day 11 – Sun 7th

We both slept good, me sitting up again. Woke to a wet day and it was going to get wetter. Chris hooked up and packed up outside in the rain, we had showers before we left Injune so set off dry and warm. The road out was very wet and muddy on the edges in … Continue reading Day 8 – Thursday 4th
Day 7 – Wed 3rd
I slept sitting up all night but I slept and so did Chris. We were joking how the people in the powered sites above us would be looking at the van and car thinking heck where have they been. We headed up for a shower and were amazed at how dirty the car and van … Continue reading Day 7 – Wed 3rd
Day 6 – Tue 2nd
Another night sitting up, I am so over this cold. The weather was overcast again, we decided we would pull out. We got a wee bit distracted by some Emus passing through the camp so went of in chase with cameras in hand. Then Chris saw a Blue Headed Honeyeater nest so we got further … Continue reading Day 6 – Tue 2nd
