We were up early with the sun rise and I cooked up some breakfast using the last of my bacon and the inshell scrambled eggs. Then it was back to the Port Warrender Road where we turned north and headed to Surveyors Pool which was about 10 km off the main road to the car park and then a two km return walk to the pool and water fall. It was an easy walk and then a little scramble over the rocks for a spectacular view. While Shane explored the area I soaked in a lovely little pool at the top with its own tiny water fall that made a great spa. Shane had a swim down stream a little and then we walked back to the cars and had a quick drink.
Back out to the main road heading north and the road condition started to deteriorate quickly. There was a lookout about five km along the road that gave a great view out over the bay which is Port Warrender.
We kept following the road as it got worse and worse until we were down to a low range crawl to stop getting shaken about. At the end is Walsh Point and there were several campers setup there and a boat ramp. After exploring this we backtracked a little to a flat rocky headland and had lunch with a fantastic view. I flew the drone around for a while but it was hard to capture the magnificence of the scenery.
Then it was back south along the road backtracking to view the Art sites near King Edward River, as it was getting late we decided to collect a little fire wood and head back into Munurru (King Edward River) Camp.
At the first Art site we visited I saw my first snake (and second snake) of the trip. Both were about a metre in length and black on their backs but otherwise I had no idea what variety they were. We setup camp and Shane went for a drive and walk to see the Falls while I stayed at camp and wandered over to the swimming hole and soaked off some more dust. The aboriginal rangers dropped in to check our permits and while talking to them about our plans to head up to Kalumburu tomorrow, they told us that the shop there would be closed as it was Sunday. No real worries as we were just going for a look for the day. As usual we sat around the fire for awhile chatting and writing up our blogs before heading off the bed relatively early.
