Up early to watch the sunrise over the hills and to farewell Bungle Bungle National Park. On the road again, back out along Spring Creek track and up through Turkey Creek on the Great Northern Highway towards Wyndham, passing over creeks with such obscure names as Cheese Tin and Dead Horse and listening to AM963 Warangary playing all the old favourite country and western songs.
We called in at The Grotto for lunch, hoping to have a swim in the pool after climbing down the 140 steps to reach it. Whilst the Grotto itself was pretty, the waterhole was certainly not conducive to swimming so we had to stay hot and sweaty.
We turned off the Wyndham Road into the Parry Lagoons Nature Reserve along the historic Old Halls Creek Road which was built around 1894 by convict labour where we could still see the hand laid edging stones.
Our camp for the night was the Mambi Island bush camp on the banks of the Ord river along the old Kununurra/Wyndham road.
We weren’t that far out of civilisation that we couldn’t tune into a radio station and catch up with the latest with the election.
