After collecting supplies we drove north from Roma and on to Carnarvon Gorge National Park to stay a couple of days at Takarakka Bush Resort. As we approached the mouth of the Gorge we passed many fat and cattle chewing cud lazily on the grassy plains, watching us for entertainment as we drove by.

| Moo! |
No powered sites were available we were lucky to get the second-to-last unpowered site.
We debated how much of Gorge we should explore and settled on a 17km walk which passed a number of key natural wonders.
The kids were great and Jordan and Ben charged ahead. There were a number of great river crossings on stepping stones and we were ably assisted by walking sticks collected on the way.
The trek took longer then expected but we made it back, pretty exhausted. It was nice to kick back by the campfire and enjoy a drink or two while the heat revingorated our rather sore bodies.
Roast lamb and potatoes for dinner in the camp kitchen finished off the night.
Highly recommended.
