I think everyone was rather exhausted after a huge day yesterday and it was a welcome thought that we didn’t have a deadline for pack up or to get on the road. It’s been great to do a few hours of work and meetings to coincide with Sydney work hours early. The girls were playing with their Duplo and magnatiles for hours again, I’d say these have been the best toys we have brought on the trip with us.
Once packed up we hit the road and Chris was enjoying the bitumen and smooth roads compared to the track we drove yesterday to Purnululu…It was such a varied landscape as well, we are always amazed at how quickly and how much the scenery changes along the road.
We’d heard great things about Mary Pool free camp so decided to stop there for an ice cream break and a stretch of the legs. The girls spotted some archer fish in the water and had fun looking around. It’s amazing what a quick stop can sometimes do to motivate everyone on travel days.
It was a bit more of a drive, but it honestly felt like we were in a completely different part of the world with some incredible rock formations appearing out of nowhere along the road. Some parts reminded me of Yosemite National Park in the US.
We arrived at Mimbi caves and loved the beautiful setting – what a stunning spot. The girls played some frisbee, we enjoyed some snacks and had a lovely evening together watching the sunset and eating a delicious dinner.
The big girls stayed up for movie night and the stars were incredible! Then the moon came out and I don’t think I’ve seen such a huge moon in a long time. Of course no photos do it justice, but we tried.
