After our Brekkie we hopped on our SUV's which truly deserve that name and drove further north to the only saltwater we were allowed to swim in, the Champagne Pools. A couple of eroded rock pools on the beach which frequently get flooded with fresh sea water. We then drove back to Indian Head viewpoint from where we watched Humpback Whales swimming by in the distance and Manta Rays hovering not far from the cliffs. As we drove away inland to our picnic place at Waddy Point we saw a couple of Dingos looking for food. The last stop of the day was Eli Creek where you just let yourself float downstream, similar to SlickRock in Sedona/Arizona. Back in the camp the fights over pots, cutlery and fireplaces ensured that no one got bored... ;)
Nach unserem Fruehstueck sprangen wir auf unsere Gelaendewagen und fuhren weiter nach Norden zu den sogenannten Champagne Pools
. Ein paar durch Erosion entstandene Teiche im Felsgestein an einem Kuestenstreifen, die staendig von Meerwasser ueberspuelt werden. Nach dem Baden fuhren wir ein Stueck zurrueck zum Indian Head Aussichtspunkt von wo wir Buckelwale in einiger Entfernung vorbeischwimmen sahen. Und Manta Rochen nicht weit entfernt unterhalb des Kliffs. Waehrend unserer Fahrt ins Hinterland nach Waddy Point sahen wir mehrere Dingos auf Nahrungssuche. Der letzte Tagesstop war Eli Creek, wo man sich flussabwaerts treiben lassen kann. Zurrueck auf dem Zeltplatz sorgte der Kampf um Kochtoepfe, Bestecke und Herdstellen, dass keine Langeweile aufkam... ;)
