Sunday we drove from the Doon Doon Roadhouse to El Questro, where the movie "Australia" with Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman was filmed. We stopped at Zebedee Sprins on the way. We were jumping and climbing between hot thermal natural pools.
The whole area felt very tropical and had lots of pocket 'hot tubs'.
I sat under one of the many waterfalls at Zebedee Springs.
A bunch of us from the tour group sat in the very top pool looking up at the mountain side on one side, and down on the series of hot springs on the other side.
Then we hiked into El Questro Gorge. We scaled boulders and hopped from rock to rock.
We were rewarded with a refreshing swim in the cold swimming hole.

We camped at El Questro Station, but arrived early enough to sneak in a swim in the Pentecost River and lay in the sun for a while (me and Kat).
We were ecstatic to partake in happy hour at the station bar. It had been a few days since we'd seen any semblance of civilization.

Clark and Take grilled kangaroo and buffalo over an open fire, while a few of us continued happy hour back at the campsite.
The 4WD (named Megatron) was brand new for our trip but is a little dirty after all the off roading.
