Nothing prepares you for Oxer Lookout and Junction Pool, Karijini National Park
Not even seven fifteen in the morning and we've already had breakfast. Watched the sun rise but not very spectacular...thankfully not much cloud around this morning and lots of blue sky.
Had a great sleep last night after the one generator, loud rock music and many giggling girls were switched off. No wind, no tree branches scraping the roof tent, no rain drops splattering above. Ah, but the sound of the howling dingoes...it's a sound to behold. Sometimes it was even quite comical as one or two of the dingoes clearly didn't have a musical bone in their body. Heard them about three times during the night, magical, then I went straight back to sleep each time. Both Honey Pie and I were awake before six. The alarm was set for six anyway as we want to get an early start today.
After two very hot nights just north of the Tropic of Capricorn, we'd packed away our plus or minus five degrees sleeping bags and our winter woollies only to find ourselves back in the season of winter. So out came the sleeping bag again, and, so I don't have to dig around in the back of the car for my winter garments, I'm wearing layers this morning. Three on top and two on the bottom! Despite the cooler temperature, both Honey and I had a very pleasant sleep last night. The tent was very cosy and this morning there was no dew on the tent.
(Andrew has just informed me he has a moth in the meth.)
And so I'm called to domesticity once more...dishes need drying up, car to be packed, as we start our adventure into the gorges of Karijini.
