Sat 6 Aug 2011 Kununurra to El Questro

0745 (8747 km) Left. Had breakfast in the car as we wanted to get to El Questro Wilderness Park early to get a private campsite. Lots of dirt road and corrugated roads. Our teeth were chattering, our whole body tingly and numb from the bouncing in the car. The car's information display screen went off - died, kaput!
1000 (8853 km) Finally, after a river crossing of about 50 cm, we got to El Questro Station. Really nicely set up. Checked in and chose a private campsite 8km away along a 4WD track.


Zebedee Springs



1045 (8860 km) Zebedee Springs. It is magical. Really nice warm clear spring water flowing down the rocks. At one point, we could see the water coming out of the ground between the roots of the Livistonia Palms, as if out of nowhere - it was bizarre. Could have stayed there all day. Unfortunately, they actually close the springs to public at 1200. Oh well, we had our turn.

1200 (8860 km) Left Zebedee Springs.

1300 (8876 km) Went to our private campsite called Kite. It was on the other side of the Pentecost River. So we had to do more river crossings, up and down hill, sand driving. Good thing we had a 4WD. Set up campsite, which was right next to the river. It felt like we were the only people in the world. Tried some fishing but didn't catch anything.

1615 (8876 km) Went to the station.
1645 (8886 km) El Questro Station. Checked out the swimming area but it was cold. Cooked pasta carbonara and had showers.
1845 (8886 km) Drove back to campsite in the dark.
1910 (8895 km) Got back to campsite and played cards and then went to sleep. The only people in the world.
