John never missed an opportunity to catch up on some relaxing reading (Dell's photo)

Welford National Park, like many National Parks, was originally a grazing property, and some of the drives in the park take you past the old homestead and yards (which are now the Ranger Station).

We called in at a muddy Billabong, (Trafalgar Waterhole), then continued on and found a slighly shady tree near an old windmill for morning tea. There were plenty of wallabies, crows, Willy Wagtails and, of course, flies.

Sawyers Creek Viewpoint had reasonable views of the countryside, but no actual lookout.

Eventually we lucked on a lovely spot beside Sawyers Creek for lunch. It wasn't very flat, but all the other attributes made up for that. A huge Ghost Gum sheltered us, and a Heron watched us warily as he stalked prey for his lunch.

The next highlight was Trafalgar Waterhole which, to be honest, was much the same as all the other waterholes.

Back at camp we went for another swim, this time entering on the rocky section which definitely had less squelchy mud. I played with my lensball again.
