Day 84 – El Questro – sunny 33

Whoever first set this place up would have made a killing.This million acre property has over 7 walks each around 3.4km. There are horses, cows, monitors, donkeys, wallabies and birds and that is what we have seen just driving in. The Station consists of a store/bar/info and then a separate restaurant and mechanics. If it is a Homestead you are looking for, that is hidden away at $1200 a night.

Glenn in the background was the only one game enough to swim.
Amelia Gorge 3.4km walk was a lot of fun, clambering over rocks and climbing cliffs. Now the falls pool was so cold it hurt and there was no way I was getting in there, Glenn did. The first pool was a lot warmer and even Paige and I ventured in.

A Boab at Moonlight Walk
After dinner we went to see the swimming pool at Moonlight walk, unfortunately we wont be able to walk this track because of time. We are staying 4 nights now, but only can do a walk a day. Moonlights water was warmer and a lot better for the kids to swim in being so shallow.

The kids decided that they wanted to be the parents and they drove back.
