West Coast Mission: Day 15

And and and! Guess what? You won't guess so I'll tell ya. Just as we were heading to the first gorge we bumped into the Get Away team (Aussie holiday show sort of thing). Now this would be infinitely more exciting if a) I watched TV at all, b) I'd seen Get Away and c) if I could remember the name of the presenter guy who I had my photo taken with. It's on Becky's camera, but. I need to get it off her.

But still, mingling with celebrities, us. We watched as they maneuvered $1000's worth of equipment through freezing water on lilos before moving onto the next place.

There's not much to actually say, it's one of those Had To Be There things. You basically navigate your way through the park's unsealed road, stopping at gorges for a swim and lookouts for oohing and ahhing. We didn't have time for any of the walks but to be fair movement never really suited us. Fortescue Falls were amazing an all, we spent quite a bit of time there until we realised there were tiny leeches in the falls. Nice. A quick dip and a blood transfusion, you just don't get that down the local swimming pool do ya.

Freshening Up

Gotta Love Waterfalls

That night we stayed at Auski Roadhouse (Munjina) for camping, they gave us a powered site for the price of an unpowered one. Luxury! What could we use it for?

A quick inventory of all our Stuff With Plugs later and we whipped out Becky's hair straighteners and began ironing the curls out of Darragh's hair. Yeah, I know Darragh hasn't got curly hair.

Making The Most Of Having Power

Not on his head anyway.
