The Poplars rest day.







We didn’t get any rain last night and woke to another wonderful clear sky day.

Ben and Lani decided to head home today and the rest of us wanted to take a drive up to Davies Plain and then onto watch them cross the Murray so after they packed and we were ready we headed off.  It was my first time driving on the trip as James is too sore to drive.

I enjoyed the day of getting back behind the wheel.  It is only 40kms from camp to the crossing but it took us 2 and a half hours to drive it.  The road is steep in sections and has lots of sections of rocky base which makes for slow going.

After seeing them across the river we headed back to Buckwong Creek camping area and had a short lunch break.  We then pushed on back up to Davies Plain Hut and took some photos and read about the area.

On the way back to camp we were getting low on fuel so we stopped in at Charlies Creek Camping area and put the fuel off the roof in to the car. Charlies Creek Camping area is one of the most serene beautiful areas we saw in the area.  It was almost like the grass had been mowed and with a crystal clear creek flowing it was tempting to lay out a blanket and have a nap but we just continued on back to camp for our last night.

For our last night we decided to do a mega happy hour so we snacked and made a fire then packed away as much as we could so we can get an early start tomorrow. 

Time to now sit back and enjoy the sounds of the river running and the fire crackling on our last night at camp L.
