It's a chilly 2 degrees C this morning and there is still no government as the vote is a tie. Col and I did a leisurely 1hr pack up this morning, then went and chatted to Robert and Alison. Robert wanted a night photography lesson, so I taught him the basics. He needs to get a shutter release cable.
Davies and Morgans seem less shell shocked now, plodding along with their packing up in a much better mood.
Off to check The Rock again.
It was closed to climbing due to wind today. There were some very long faces in the 18-20yr group. We did the Marla Walk instead which was surprisingly pretty and dramatic. There were caves, trickling water, ponds, trees, cathedral-like walls and the occasional Aboriginal rock art.
We all hugged the rock and felt a great connection with it's power and beauty. Farewell until next time.
After a pit stop and grabbing some snacks we did the drive to Kings Creek Station. Col seems quite recovered from his flu now. We stopped at Mt Connor rest stop and after lunch crossed the road and up a sand dune to a bit of a lookout to the north and were surprised by the lovely claypan view.
Driving west towards Kings Creek Station you get an amazing red rock ridge to your right. The station had a great campsite and covered kitchen area, but I was a bit disappointed. We miss Leroy! Last time Leroy was here with a camel show and camel rides. There was nothing to warn us this has gone!
The showers were great, they sell amazing hot chips and we still had fun visiting the baby camel. After early showers we made a fire despite the rain. Yes, it's raining again. We sat around the fire in-between showers.
I downloaded all photos and videos so far and everyone had fun looking at how I can improve my night shots on LR. Eliza was my assistant, picking out all the digital noise.
