Had a bit of a sleep in as we weren't supposed to leave until 9 am. Did a slow pack up and cooked bacon and eggs for breakfast. Lots of car mechanics needed to be done so still waiting to leave at 10 am. Finally left about 10:30 heading north, there was a twisty, winding section where everyone took a different track roughly heading in the right direction but no one got lost. Then it was Cockatoo Creek which while not hard took some time to film.
Dave and I went on ahead to Fruitbat Falls to set up lunch while the others continued on slowly.
After some sandwiches for lunch we went for a great swim. The falls are just as spectacular as I remember them and we soaked in the water for awhile after they had finished filming.
Finally we started heading north with the last obstacle for the day being Scrubby Creek, a fairly long but deepish crossing. The water was over bonnet height, however there is now an easy chicken track which takes out the chance of stuffing your engine.
Dave and I continued onto Twin Falls to find a suitable camp site which was pretty easy as the place was mostly empty. While we cooked up a roast for dinner the others wandered down for a swim and some filming. After a magnificent roast dinner we sat around the camp fire for awhile before heading off to bed.
