Each morning, we were up with the sun, eating breakfast and reloading the bus.
We slept the first night with our swags directly on the ground under the stars.
Here's the view from one of our pitt stops along our very long day of driving on the Great Northern Highway via Halls Creek.
And here's a lone spectator taking it all in. Kind of a funny shot of a guy in the middle of nowhere.
Mabel Downs marked the beginning of Spring Creek Track, a 53km bumpy dirt road which took more than 2 hours to traverse, up and down hills and through rivers. It also marked the entrance to the world heritage listed Purnurlulu National Park.
Here we are in the bus bumping along Spring Creek Track.
Here's one of the smaller creeks we passed through.

The cliffs turned a bright orange color as the sun set over the mountain range. We went for a bush walk wander near the camp. Our tour guide Clark explained that real didgeridoos only come from Arnhem Land where the ants eat through bloodwood or eucalyptus trees.
The ground was rough and prickly, so we laid our swags on top of this giant tarp.
We ate dinner around the campfire.
