Day 37 – El Questro to Mount Barnett Roadhouse

I was up at 5:30 again (noisy birds and plenty of light) to shower and dress. After breakfast we broke camp and were off by not long after 8. We called into Home Valley Station and got a drink. We caught up with the Kimberly Wild group again! It looks a nice place. We called into Ellenbrae and had scones, jam and cream. Here I found my front number plate was loose and only hanging on one screw, so I took it off rather than lose it. We set off again and passed the turnoff to Kalumburu – no water in the Mitchell Falls to speak of – and called in to see the Barnett Gorge. However, after the 3.5 km drive in, the walk to see anything was going to be over 1.5 km so the temperature decided we would not walk. We eventually arrived at the Mt Barnett Roadhouse and had a pie and sausage roll for late lunch/early tea. We booked in for the night, drove down to the Manning gorge campground and set up camp. Then I sat and did my blog as the sun was setting. We had something light for tea, then went to bed – but not to sleep, as a tour group were loud and raucous. Eventually I dropped off and found someone else had told them to “shut up”!
