Greg was up well before the sun this morning, went for a short walk then came back to bed because it was cold and it's Sunday. After breakfast we went for a walk together and ended up doing 6 km, after choosing the 3 km track!! It was well and truly time for mormos by the time we got home.
Because it is Sunday, we had a bit of a lazy day doing stuff on our computers, reading books, and resting. By mid afternoon, Greg was going a tad crazy, so we rode to Bark Hut Inn, about 2.5 km East of here. Unless you need fuel and an urgent place to stay overnight, there is not much else to see and do there. We spent all of about two minutes there and rode home. Greg has had slow leak in his front tyre for sometime now, so got busy fixing that on our return.
What a difference not even 24 hours can make; this place is now the definition of 'serenity' - no screaming kids, no campfires, and no artificial noise. There was a burn off somewhere close by earlier today, however, there must have been no, or very little wind, as the smoke did not affect us at all. So nice to have the windows open, and fresh air in the van.
We're looking forward to getting to Darwin tomorrow after living there for three years, 21 years ago.
There is a billabong through there

Entrance to Mary River Wilderness Retreat complete with bouncing wallaby
Six wallabies; unusual to capture this many in one photo as they are very skittish. They are cleverer than their kangaroo cousins in that they jump away from the road when a car approaches. This is a good thing because they are very cute!
