Friday 8th July
After an early start, we had a drama on the road out, as the caravan came off its hitch because R had forgotten to lock it in!!
However, using the car jack to lift it up, it went back onto the car again..... but you can imagine there were some awful moments before it was over!

We called in to look at Galvans’ gorge which was really pretty. (
I put these photos in the Mornington entry by mistake, I think - I'm working under diffi cult conditions, in the shade outside at the Information centre, but its hard to see!!)

We bought fuel and some fresh food at the roadhouse at Mt Barnett, then went in to the campground – pretty barren and filled up as the day went on.
The walk to the gorge was very long and hot, and we actually didn’t make it to the end as we thought we would be getting back in the dark!
There were some lovely flowers – including the red Rosellas, and the golden Silver-leaf Grevilleas. ( again, these phots are in the last blog...sorry

But the waterhole at the start of the walk was enormous, and a lovely place to have a swim.
You had to swim over to the other side, or go in a boat and paddle, or swim your thigs in a polystyrene box....fun!
We had planned to stay 2 nights, but it was not nice enough so we decided to move on.
