Did I mention it was hot up here?!! It is hot and humid but dare I say it the wet weather seems to have finally passed and we have had 3 in a row of sunny weather (and HOT!!!). We spent the day yesterday at Lake Argle, the largest man made lake in Australia. Took a lovely sunset cruise which although 3 hours only covered less than one third of the entire lake. Oliver got his wish just on sunset to have a swim - we were in over 20 metres of pure, fresh water and found we sunk very easily! So kept Sienna in only for a very short time as I was terrified she would sink and never be seen again!!!
Today we took a few short walks around the Mirima Nat Park which happens to back onto where we are camped. Despite Oliver's constant whining we enjoyed some wonderful scenary, typical of this area which houses landscapes over 200 million years old. This small national park is known as the "mini Bungle Bungles" as the rock formations are the same only much smaller.
Am feeling decidedly young as we are camped amongst a sea of grey nomads - all very friendly but we are definitely not up with the complicated level or amount of camping equipment required. Next door has a washing machine and spinner with them and the largest portable fridge I have ever seen!
No updates from Paul - I can imagine he is hot, muddy and very sweaty but we should find out in 2 days!
Thanks for all your comments - really appreciate hearing from you all. I will try and keep the blogs coming as regularly as possible although this connection is somewhat temperamental!
