We are staying at
Takkarakka Camping resort about 5klms from the National Park itself
at a site with power and water. What luxury but at $45 per night, one
expects some extras. The National Park Camp Ground only operates
during school holidays.
There has been a slight
change of plan in that Andy and Heidi are going to Bargara for the
weekend so we are now planning to get to Ron and Julie's for lunch on
Sunday to have lunch with them and Andy and Heidi before Andy and
Heidi head back to the Coast. I hope Ron and Julie won't mind. They don't know yet.
Today was the grand finale
in terms of walks. We walked approximately 20klms and crossed
Carnarvon Creek 38 times, all without incident. In the process of
doing that, we visited Cathedral Cave, Ward's Canyon, the
Amphitheatre and the Moss Gardens, all very spectacular, not to
mention the birds, butterflies, flowers and wildlife.
This is almost the last
post for this trip. We have a helicopter flight booked for 12:00
tomorrow after which we start heading east so the aerial photos will
be the last blog.
I am not proposing to do a
blog from Lady Elliot to which we head after Bargara. Everybody has
seen plenty of turtles, manta rays and the prolific marine life so,
unless something really special happens, tomorrow will be the last
blog for this trip. We will be home next weekend to return to the
real world, for a short time at least.
And what a fantastic trip
it as been, even though we had to find destinations to occupy the
extra time resulting from the cancelled cruise. But what a fun
process that has been.
The things you see on a country road.
