We head out of the Kings Canyon Resort but stop a few k’s away to do the Kathleen Springs walk, about 3 kms return (have decided this is Charlie’s limit – inclusive of shoulder rides).
Driving our big stretches, the amount of wedge-tailed eagles we see is amazing, many are standing hunched over their prey just a few metres off the road.
We are planning another free camp tonight, which is on the banks of the Finke River, but before I continue with that.... I need to mention how entertaining a packet of Faber Castel textas can be to small boys on a long drive..they have been clicked together and converted into various weapons, which has been a constant source of entertainment/antagonism and have occasionally been used for colouring.
Pulled up at Finke River Rest Area (and only just squeezed in...gotta be quick with the Grey Nomads on the road!) we had another campfire which we shared with an interesting woman who has been travelling (and working) around this country on her own for 6 years. She had a plethora of instruments and a beautiful voice. Samuel joined in on the bongo drums and really enjoyed it.
WOW
