It was cold at about 1am but I woke up quite warm this morning. It's 8 degrees C and meant to get to 28 degrees C today!
During breakfast on our riverbank, we checked in with Gary at our pre-planned time on the walkie talkie.
We hiked over to Glen Helen, met up with the others and booked in for helicopter flights! Yay!
Jordan came up with me on the first flight. The landscape is spellbinding! Mountains, caterpillar ranges, comet crater, the oldest river in the world (Finke), and the beautiful gorges it has carved. It was such a tiny helicopter. My feet were in the nose section. I so want one!
Everyone had a fantastic experience. There was a bit of a wait between ours and Morgan's, so we went for a walk to the Glen Helen Gorge with them and then waited at the bar overlooking the river eating hamburgers.
It was so hot by the time we walked back to our bush camp that we ripped shoes off and sank into chairs in the shade with a book. Jordan and I ended up asleep on the sand.
The Morgan/Davies crew came over to visit us in their car. Checking out our spot for future reference. Amara and Eliza had been for a swim in the icy water.
Jack and Sian went for a walk to a waterhole further north. Col and I followed once our visitors had gone. We found the tree that we camped near in 2002. It's like a big arch.
