Instantly, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, I bet your a Victorian, Get back to your campsite before I blow your BEEPING head off and the tirade continued. Then he asks me (I was sitting around the campfire with Alyssa) if it was too loud. I told him it was a little loud but I didn't want to stop him from listening to his music. He muttered something about being deaf before wandering over to some other neighbours and telling them his sob story. Later just before we went to bed his missus comes back and goes A over T on the ground, obviously smashed as well.
Anyway this morning we packed up and headed off to Windjana Gorge. The drive was very nice, 'The Gibb' is actually a pleasure to drive on, it's the side tracks that can be a badly corrugated.
The camp ground here is very picturesque with the King Leopold Ranges in the background. After lunch we drove down to Tunnel Creek and did the walk through the tunnel. On the way we stopped at the Lillimoola Ruins, which were initially a Homestead while the white settlers tried to establish pastoral land before it became a police out station. It was made famous when the Aboriginal Freedom Fighter (depending which side of the fence we sit on) Jandamarra shot a Policeman there named Bill Richardson in order to free some of the aboriginals that he had in fact assisted Richardson in tracking down and capturing.
Walkway to the entrance of the cave.
It was a great walk through shallow pools of water, over rocks and exploring the caves within the tunnel. We saw Freshwater Crocs, Ghost Bats and then as we were coming out Alyssa and I nearly stepped right onto a massive Olive Python. Well in true form I didn't see it and Alyssa went skittling backwards and fell A over T on some of the rocks. No injuries just a little bit of pain she tells me, we will see how she pulls up in the morning.
Not many pics sorry it was too dark in the cave and I didn't want to drop my phone in the water so this one is from the GoPro.
