There was further rain in the night but it had cleared by the morning so that we were able to dry out the trailers, ready to pack up to move on, whilst going for a walk into the deep gorge to Pyramid Rock.
Before leaving the Porcupine Gorge National Park we drove back along the main road to the Porcupine Gorge lookout as we hadn’t had time the evening before to visit it. Interesting view looking right down into the gorge.
We continued north along the Kennedy Development Road to meet with the Savannah Way.
Sections of the road had been surfaced but other sections were gravel and slippery mud as there has been a lot of rain in the area. There were also several sections where there were roadworks, some with deviations. It seems as if a fair bit of funding was being put into the upgrade/upkeep of this road.
We had a late lunch beside the Einasleigh River after the Phillips vehicle had become bogged trying to find a spot in the shade to have lunch
Short stop at The Lynd (junction of the road to Charters Towers) before pressing on to Undara, arriving just in time to set up camp before the sun set.
This time we didn’t quite get the dinner over before the rain set in. This time it was a heavy downpour that lasted into the night. We did have an unusual visitor at our dinner table though – a Bettong
