Day 47. Saturday 3rd August, 2013.

Another cold night so snuggle-up in bed until a reasonable hour then up for coffee. A quiet day and being the week-end, no construction work to interrupt the serenity.

Time to take the territory on a bit of rough-stuff on the road to N'Dhala Gorge. This is a 4WD track, part of what is known as Binns Track.  Google it and see. We cross the Ross River a number of times. There is water at all these crossing 'coz the crossing as actually lower than the water-table. A bit of sand here and there and rocky bits make it a great driving experience (that Geraldine would rather miss out on. Glad she let me buy the car!)

The Gorge is no-where near as spectacular as Trephina but this one does have the added feature of having very ancient aboriginal petroglyphs scattered here and there. We wander along and find some here and there. The National Parks have supplied only a few explanatory signs so it is all good fun...a bit like a treasure hunt really.

This is what a petroglyph looks like...may thousands of years old.

We spent about an hour wandering here and there and then made our way back to the homestead along the track....more fun.

A very relaxing afternoon, gathering firewood for tonight, visiting the homestead for souvenirs (must have those) and reading in the sunshine. This is a long week-end in the Territory and it is noticeable that there are many more campers in the park. Just as well we are moving on tomorrow.
