Day 10, Wednesday 6/7/2016, Boggy Hole, Finke Gorge

 I woke up in heaven! It is such an amazing place. Everyone is on a bit of a high from the fun and scenic drive yesterday and the fact that we have a well earnt rest day today. It was 2 degrees C this morning.





There was a lot of exploratory walks and photography today. Leah and I went hiking through thick hip high grass to find pelicans and checked out the old police station ruins. The young adults went to explore the old police station as well and Siân had some more manual and 4WD lessons.












Then it was a fun lunch of mini dampers with different fillings, eg fetta and spinach, cheese and vegemite, peanut butter and choc chip and Col's specialty of red wine, garlic and fetta. They were delicious and we found the ones with red wine were the softest and fluffiest.




We had lunch around the campfire and then put a stew on for tonight's dinner.

There was an afternoon cricket match and then Amara caught a couple of little fish using just some fishing line tied to a stick with meat on the end (released of course).






Sitting in our chairs by the river we watched a kite and wallaby across the other side. The puffy clouds putting on a great pink and orange display at sunset.




Another lovely evening around the campfire together, with Leah and I again staying up late to read by the fire.
