It had been very cold overnight and froze some water we had left out. As we hade been sitting around the fire we spotted a dingo prowling around but not really taking any notice of us. In the torch light they have green reflective eyes. We slept in a bit and cooked a leisurely breakfast before heading north along the track. We crossed the river a few times but none of them were very deep. The track more often than not ran down the centre of the dry river and there were stoney patches as well as some soft sandy patches.
We got to the Boggy Hole camp ground and then went in search of the ruins of the old police station. This time we were luckier finding a track across the river and then walking when the sign said not to drive any further. We took some photos and headed back to the cars and ended up having a bit of lunch, before heading north along the track and out of the park, ending up at Hermannsburg. This is a great track to drive with lots of stunning scenery and fun driving, there are also quite a few very pleasant camp sites along the way.
We then drove onto Palm Valley about 20 kms the other side of Hermannsburg, when we arrived we found a nice camp site and Brett noticed that his rear suspension was sagging a bit, but there didn't seem to be anything noticably wrong with it. We set up camp and then took my car out for a drive to the walking tracks further in Palm Valley. The road was very rough and we ended up driving over quite a lot of large rock shelves. As I parked in the car park I hit a hidden rock with the new bull bar and tilted it down a bit. We went for a walk around the Palms and took some photos before heading back to camp. We had a look at the bull bar which was still very firmly attached, just tilted down, and tightened up all the bolts and adjusted the spotties up wards. Then we had a tepid shower with the remains of the hot water from the solar system on top of the shower block. Then a quick dinner before going to bed early as it got bloody chilly quickly.
