Hi Folks,
Today's blog starts last night remembering we were camped overnight at Moreton telegraph Station. Tea was Spanish mackerel absolutely magnificent.
The highlight of the evening was when one of our party discovered an Amethystene Python a mere 3 - 4 metres long, initiating a flurry of photo activity and a late night (10pm).
We awoke to a light dew and a cool 23C morning.
Following breakfast and packing we headed to Bramwell Junction where we viewed giant ant mounds and had an ice cream. The roads are still pretty good with nothing that would have bothered the Pajero and the camper (yet).
From Bramwell we travelled along the southern bypass road stopping for morning tea at the Kennedy Expedition Lost Camp LXXIV. We then cut back to the Telegraph Track and the road started to deteriorate! We joined the Telegraph Track which was narrow and very bumpy.
After travelling through Cockatoo Creek lunch was at Fruit Bat Falls. A nice swimming hole for those without sores on their legs. It seems to be getting better so I didn't want to risk getting it wet. It's very hard to stay out of the water on these hot days.
After lunch we travelled the mercifully short very corrugated distance to our camp site at Elliot/Twin falls. A terrific spot with lovely streams ,pools and water falls for swimming. I washed my feet and sandals while others bathed(sighs).
Cheers Simon
