Goodedulla National Park - 4 Sep

 After breakfast Al & Darryl headed back to town to get the tyres fixed. Dell and I chatted and did family history, and had only just moved under some shady trees on the creekbank after lunch, when the horn sounded and they were back. They'd had time to get the tyres fixed and have showers at home. We had a few scuds come through but it was very light rain.

We opted to stay another night, as it was a bit late to move on. I cooked up a Cheese and Garlic Damper which went down very well with a glass of wine.

Goodedulla National Park - 3 Sep

 Set out going through Glenroy Crossing. Stopped for a look around. Just after coming up out of the river, Al got a flat tyre. Got it all changed ok, and continued on.

No that's not me changing a tyre...just checking the pressure (Courtesy of Dell)

Went through some private property to the top end of Goodedulla.

Had a look at Palms Waterhole, which has a nice flat camping area but currently not much water.

Went through another creek, then Al stopped and it turned out he had another flat tyre! Luckily where we were was one of the best spots to set up camp if we had to be stopped anywhere but our campsite. The wheels were removed and put into our car. We set up camp, had afternoon tea then dinner.

In fact it was quite fortuitous that we were stopped where we were, as at the nearby creek crossing there was a Callistemon in full bloom and it had lots of pairs of Scarlet Honeyeaters, which were little birds that none of us had ever seen before. 

It rained short but heavy during the night, so luckily we had covered Dell's table with the tarp.
