 <\/p>\n

Sluggish start this morning as we only have 2 hour drive to our next stop for 3 nights.
\nLast night after settling in, we walked to the local establishment for a pub dinner…guessed we picked the wrong night in a mining town….State of Origin was on and the residents of Newman were to say the least we’re a roudy mob…whne we first walked in, I think we were the only non mine employees,I asked the girl behind thE counter “is there a lounge or bistro?”. No was the answer along with a “sorry” , I guess she could see we didn’t quite fit in….trying to escape the deafening roar of state of origin, we found the TAB betting room much quieter behind what must have been soundproof glass….enjoyed our meal and retired back to camp.<\/p>\n

We decided to do some stock replenishment of our groceries, so paid a visit to the supermarket…fuelled up again and set the navigation systems to Karijini.<\/p>\n

We arrived just after 1 pm, short visit to the magnificent Visitor centre and then to the camp check-in station where Rod and Gwen (volunteers) checked our papers and set us on towards our respective camps, after some very good advice on what to see and do and when…
\nSet up camp and then went on a bit of an orientation tour.
\nThe Gorges and rock pools below looked very impressive….this what our appetite for what we had planned the following day….
\nAfter the orientation, back to camp , well before sunset and prepared our usual h’ors d’oeuvres and enjoyed the company of our travel companions, Tom and Di..
\nDinner followed with drinks and port, then back to our respective homes on wheels…bed and we’ll earnt rest.<\/p>\n
