Cape York – Days 2-3

Sunday 24th July – Day 2

We woke up to -1 degrees . It was a tad cold. After a breakfast of toast and cereal, we packed up and were on the road about 8:15. First stop was McDonald’s in Goondiwindi for coffee and loo. From there it was onto St George for lunch, then Surat, Roma (fuel), then Injune and finally to Carnarvon Gorge. It was a long day, as it was further than we thought. It ended up being 705 klms.

We arrived at Carnarvon gorge at 7pm and set up in the dark.

Monday 25th July – Day 3

Today, we were heading into the gorge to see which walks we could do, within a reasonable time frame. We checked out the maps and decided to do Moss Garden, the Amphitheatre, and the Art Gallery. Mark and I would probably also do the Ward’s Canyon walk.

It was a long day – 7 hours elapsed – but we saw some really nice things. We are all feeling a bit stiff and sore, and I am sure tomorrow will bring a few other aches.

Leaving the gorge

We head north again tomorrow.
