Just a one night stopover at Mt Hart and we were on our way again this morning. Bob and I were naturally apprehensive about the almost last water crossing after our misadventure yesterday. Thankfully all went well on our way out. Karen kindly videoed the evidence. I watch this and can’t believe Bob and I are attempting this ‘real 4wding’. Not our comfort zone at all, but handling it ok.

Once we’d made it back to the relative comfort of the Gibb we headed to Lennard Gorge. Bob was understandably tentative about the 8km drive in, but there was only one deepish water crossing to get in, thankfully.

The 3km return hike was a grade 4 hike and quite strenuous for those that have had knee surgery six months ago, but so worth it. We took our lunch in and enjoyed eating it overlooking the falls.

We headed back to the car and proceeded to our accommodation for the next few days at Silent Grove. On the way in we survived our deepest water crossing yet (the water tried to get in the van door, but thankfully the seals worked 🙂 ). A relaxed afternoon and then a very enjoyable formal evening. It’s been a while.

Things still aren’t clear re the opening of the road ahead of us, but we’ll just wait to see how it goes. Another astro photo night with the Scott’s van and car. The stars here are amazing!
