We started the day in a relaxed mood with cooked breakfast and a long conversation with one of our fellow campers about where to find wildflowers further south and the merits of different camping vehicles
Then we had a delightful rock hopping hike into Temple Gorge, where we admired the temple standing at the apex of the gorge
There are some fantastic red rocks here with sheer drops (a bit like Kings Canyon), huge chunks of rock that have fallen at some time in the past and also some really interesting black rocks that look like cross sections of trees.
After the walk we retraced our steps to Gascoyne Junction, where we now took the time to look at the town. There is an amazing recreation area in this small town, along with a community pizza oven. There is also a good visitor centre where we visited to check that our sketchy travel plan would work.
We ended up taking another very long dirt road of over 200km without seeing anyone else on the road.
Then we continued on to Wooramel station to stay for the night. At Wooramel they have riverside sites and river flat sites. We thought that riverside sites would be beside the water but the river is another upside down one-so, for most of the year, there is no water above ground. They also have warm artesian springs at Wooramel- with four pools to choose from to have a soak.
We found ourselves a nice site back from the river (river flat) with a shady tree and a fire pit. It was nice and close to toilets (flushing) and showers (hot between 7-10 and 4-8).
We’ve started regularly seeing the Australian ringneck parrots around (known locally as “28s”)
