Windjana National Park (2 nights)

After a 1 night stop over at a free camping area between Halls Creek and Fitzroy Crossing we headed for Windjana Gorge.  On the way is Tunnel Creek where you walk through a wide cave with a creek through it, about 750m long.  It was lovely and cool in there with amazing calcite formations, stalactites and all that stuff.  Windjana is a small national park with a 3.5km long gorge as the main geological feature and the mass of freshwater crocs as the main wildlife feature, there were heaps of these lounging and swimming in the creek running through the gorge.  I walked the gorge early in the morning and saw so many cool birds and towards the end of the gorge some crocs a little too close for comfort. Once again campfire time was very social with a family from Sydney one night and a family from Victoria with 4 boys under 11, the lot of them sleeping in a swag each!
