Day 34 – 22nd June – Millstream Chichester National Park

Today we travelled 50km from our camp to explore the northern part of the national park.  On our way we stopped at Mt Herbert.  A short climb to the top revealed some pretty special views.  Probably one of my favourite panoramas so far… green topped gorges and peaks to the left, the windy road we were travelling in the centre and red hills to the right… 




The view with us in it… 


Of course, every man-made pile of rocks we come to must be added to… 


From there we made our way to Python Pool, a stunning plunge pool at the base of some cliffs.  This national park has continued to surprise us with its hidden gems…

A photo to give you some perspective of size.  Hopefully you can see Dave and the kids at the base of the cliff. 


Proof you can’t take the boy out of the man.  Any opportunity to do a bombie is usually taken…  


On our journey back to camp I was fortunate enough to glimpse my first Sturt Desert Pea.  After spotting the first we then noticed a few more bushes along the road as we went.  I can’t quite figure out how we managed to miss them all on the way in… 


Finally, a look into life on the road.  Here’s one of the things we do to amuse ourselves in the car… 


PS. If her class is reading this, she is going to kill me ;)
