Rest
day/ Exploring
Tibooburra,
Sturt National Park, Jump up loop road.
Distance traveled ?
James
and I are both waking very early so I am taking full advantage and heading out
with my camera in hand to capture the sunrise.
It was a very cool still morning and we stood in the field for the
better part of an hour capturing the sun rising. We saw lots of roos about also getting the
sun. Once back at camp and with a clear
day on the way we made use of our washing bucket and got some laundry
done. We had a cooked breakfast and
sorted out the car as after days on the go things were not so organised. At 10am we headed out for Tibooburra to look
around and then head north to start the Jump up Loop road. We arrived at the start of the track and Matt
pointed us towards the Dog fence which is also the NSW & QLD boarder. Here we had lunch then pushed south east
heading the fun way back to camp. We
stopped at many lookouts and attractions, I thought the best was the Jump Ups
Look Out where the hills just appear out of no where and have very flat tops. We crossed the main road and continued along
the track pushing on into the afternoon.
It was 3.30pm when we arrived back in camp. We spent the afternoon and evening dot
sitting with champagne, nibbles and a great group of people to share it with.
