Today we headed back to the park to walk the Island Stack, Wild Dog Dreaming Walk and the Botanical Walk. These are all on the other side of the Lawn Hill Creek. We started out about 11am and did the Wild Dog Dreaming walk which included some Aboriginal Art sites, middens and a walk down to the Lower Gorge, unfortunately we were unable to take photos as it is requested that we don’t for respect of their culture. We are lucky to be given the opportunity to view these areas. Then we headed up the Island Stack which is a steep climb up the prominent sandstone ‘stack’ and circle the ‘tabletop’ of the stack capturing breath-taking panoramic views from every angle. It was a 4km return walk. We then did the short botanical walk.

We then headed back to camp and in the afternoon we went for a paddle on Lawn Hill creek, this was a 3.5km return paddle looking everywhere for the elusive crocodile. We had seen pictures of where he was yesterday but he wasn’t there today. Poor David.

Then back to the National Park for the one remaining walk we hadn’t done. A sunset walk up to the Constance Range. It was very beautiful and a fantastic view also across the plains. Well we have left no stone unturned here at Boodjamulla National Park, a very special and beautiful place. Temperature range from 20°-30°ish every day. We will head on our way tomorrow. Not sure which direction at this stage. Only time will tell.

I forgot to tell you how friendly the aboriginals were at Adels Grove and Boodjamulla National Park. They were always smiling, happy, laughing and dancing. They were always happy to have a chat.
