We were all set for more adventures and were looking forward to a dip in Bitter Springs this morning. I vividly remember this place from our tip 11 years ago and I was excited to bring the kids here. It did not disappoint!
The water was crystal clear and so warm. We floated down, enjoying the serenity and scenery. Even Scarly had the best time leaning right back on her life jacket and floating that way while I held her.
Then we had to hop out at the end and walk back to the start (that’s when it feels super cold!) but it makes jumping back in the water even more appealing. We floated down 3 times in total and the girls would have happily done it again if we didn’t have a long drive ahead of us…
It was a long, but pretty easy drive compared to what we’ve done recently. Lunch was a grab a wrap out of the back of the car with options of ham & chicken. It’s really not very glamorous doing lunch stops out of the car when you’re on the move!
Our final destination for the evening was Banka Banka station. A lovely homestead with two friendly donkeys who enjoyed munching on the green apples we had to feed them.
There was also a lovely spot on sunset hill with a wonderful 360 degree vista. We enjoyed the view from the top as the sun set and then made our way back to camp.
Everyone was a bit wired tonight so we had to deal with some meltdowns before it was finally peaceful enough for Chris and I to enjoy some stargazing.
