Finally today is our rest day – time to catch up with the weekly laundry / housekeeping and plan the next part of our trip.
We have decided that it is too hot to walk and won’t bother with our planned walk to the second highest peak. The track has full sun from sunrise and it’s madness to try to walk it in this weather. Our camp neighbours headed off this morning for Knoll Bluff and did the walk between 7.30am and 11.30am and said it was just too hot and all the crazy people they saw starting the track when they arrived back.
We are packing up tomorrow to move down to Fitzgerald National Park which is on the beach, so it will be a lot cooler and our length of stay will depend on the wind. We now have just six weeks to be in Adelaide to fly home. We are excited about meeting our next grandchild – and starting the build on our house.
Our time at Stirling Range has been fantastic, it is a pity that the weather has turned a little too hot for walking, however we have done most things on our list so that is good. The hot day was followed by a threatening thunder storm. We only got a couple of spits of rain – the car could do with a wash. Checking the weather, I spotted the grey currawong in the tree near our camp and with the grey sky, it looked an appealing photo.
