The Simpson and Kimberleys trip, 2018 Day 14

We had another lazy morning waiting for the shops to open. We did our final shop and Shane refueled before we hit the highway, heading for Purnululu National Park. It was a fairly cruisey run up the highway before we turned off to the park. We were expecting a slow and bumpy trip in but the road must have been upgraded recently as it only took us an hour or so instead of the two hours they advise. 
After checking into the parks office and paying our fees we headed out to the Kurrajong campground after checking the Kungkalanayi lookout and found a shady spot for lunch. 

We then headed off to Echidna Gorge for a walk but timed it badly as there were several tourist buses there. The walk was still pretty spectacular but my knees didn't appreciate the rocky ground. 

I came back to camp afterwards and rested up but Shane went out for another walk. We had some dinner and got cameras set up for later in the evening when in theory there was going to be a total lunar eclipse. Off to bed early after setting an alarm for around 3 am.
