Well last night was one very windy night. With speed of 40-50km and wind gusts of 65km it was a very noisy night. Our camp was deserted except for a couple of cars but the wind kept me awake a lot. The tent held up amazingly and was heaps quieter than our ground tent would have been but unfortunately I didn’t sleep very well.

Once we finally got up at about 8am we headed back to Hamersley Gorge, had a walk around and I had another swim which was very cold this morning, ice cream headache cold, so needless to say DB didn’t join me. We then headed off to Millstream Chichester National Park via the Private Mine Railway Road which apparently cut of 3 hours in an 5.5 hour drive. It was a dirt road in variable states, mostly good except for a few sections of slower, rutted road. And yes it only took about 2.5 hours. We had lunch at Deep Reach and then headed to find a campsite. This would be a first as it was only about 1.30pm

As we were both totally trashed from the last weeks activity and the bad nights sleep we decided on a rest afternoon. Believe it or not DB had a sleep and I just read my book for a couple of hours. It was bliss! Then we just went for an easy walk to the Visitors Centre and a walk through the Wetlands. And now it is time for an early night. We are fed, my photos are named and the blog is almost done and it is only 8pm. So yay for us, we did it, we had 1/2 a rest day. Nighty Night.
