Monday 8th August – 13,976 Km- Lawn Hill Gorge
Decamped, yet again, but oh how easy it is with our 'Jan'. We set off for Lawn Hill Gorge to hire some canoes. We paddled upstream, portaged around the side of some small rapids and continued on again. Spotted a couple of Crocadylus Johnsoni (freshies) resting on the banks – quite large, I was not going to swimming today. It was lovely – nice to get a bit of exercise as well. After lunch we set off for the bush camp that we had prebooked and paid $5.30 per person. Arriving there later after walking around one of the prime fossil sites in Australia (I think us fossils doing the walking were more interesting) we decided it was not a very nice site (no shade). We had got talking to some army guys at the fossil site who had suggested camping a bit further on at O'Shanassy River. So here we are – squeezed in a bit – but all is good, and will be even better after a cold beer. Michael deceided he wanted a veg out day and would catch up with us later. We have left signs for him – hope he keeps his eyes off the GPS and on the road or he might drive straight by! Over and out for now, I'm off for that beer.
