We spent the morning trying to make the most of our time at Charnley River.
There were several more singing gates to open and shut on the road out to Dillie Gorge. The place was fantastic all to ourselves. We rock hopped down to a small beach area where we hoped for easy in and out of the water and a bit of shade from the couple of trees there.
We had a lovely time swimming beneath the cliffs in the clear water.
Donkey pools was on our way back (almost) so we made the diversion and walked out past the first and second pools to the larger and slightly clearer third one. Here Trev and I swam while Ev and Craig looked round for the water monitor. No water monitor was found.
We returned our info book for deposit and had lunch while looking for red backed wrens. No luck. Something there but????
We drove out and did the 4 km to the Mornington turn off. Here we used the radio in the shelter shed to advise Mornington that we were on the track. It took a couple of hours to come in on that track past the flat topped mountains. This was a good road with a few rough bits. Great creek crossings and very pretty drive. Not as many gates as Charnley.
Al and Zita had just finished registering and found a campsite while we paid. We paid a deposit for the info book for here. We registered for bird tour at 5:45 am tomorrow. (!) and booked for dinner tomorrow night
Bar snacks and ice cold cider were a treat and we had a lovely warm shower. ( a bit hot and cold depending on other users)
Camping here is spread along Annie’s Creek. You self select your site. Al and Zita found a great spot by the creek which they happily shared with us (not so close to the creek)
