Knocked of work early last night and headed out to the Keep for a look.Was dark by the time we got out there and upon arriving at the first
camp ground/area,Gurrandalng, it was packed solid so headed of for the next one,Jarnem 16kms away,got half way there and a big
ROAD CLOSED sign shows up in the headlights.Great pitch black ,1900 and no where to
camp.End up setting up in the car park at the Nganalam art site(all to our selves too).Had a look at the site thismorning,great art there and only a short walk(5min each way).Next stop was at the Jinumum walk which followed the base of the escarpment to a wet season shelter,a bit of art here but most very faded.Took us an hour in and back but
sign states 2hrs so depends a bit.Had a look at the mystrious Gingers
Hill structure on the way out,very clever.(5min walk)
Seems nearly half the park is closed due to road closure so will have to go back to see the rest.Any one going in would want to get in early to get a spot due to one
camp ground only.All up nice spot right on my door step.
Went into Thompsons Springs on our way
home hoping to see some Gouldian Finches but not this time,good fun drive in though.Couple more spots to
check on to see some yet,here's hoping.
