El Questro
After a night’s rest, Allan took the car and trailer to the mechanic to check. Luck was on his side because they only had two wheel hub caps and they fitted!
We had breakfast at the restaurant and who should be sitting in the tree right alongside but several Blue Winged Kookaburras. How good was that? They sit there waiting for guests to toss them some bacon or sausage so of course we had to oblige.
Found a camp site, and Allan spent the rest of the day checking out the trailer and repacking so that things were more accessible. Jo and I did a cruise down Chamberlain Gorge and it was quite spectacular. The 2010 floods have really affected the river and washed away lots of the paper barks that grew along the banks. This in turn has affected the bird population. The guide told us that he watched giant boulders just being tossed around by the force of the water.
Wednesday: Did a drive to Zebedee Springs this morning. What a beautiful spot. A tropical area with palms and small waterfalls and then the springs. I went for a quick dip. Was lovely and warm and refreshing.
Jo & I did a sunset drive to Telegraph Hill. Great panorama with a 360 degree view. There are 500 campsites here and they are full. Unbelievable!!!!
