Friday 17 July

It's still raining when we awake and the edges of the tent are very wet and there are small puddles inside. When there is a small break in the weather we get everything packed up. It's a long drive up to the national park. Slow at times due to road works. Once at the national park we find all the campsites are full so we buy bus tickets for tomorrow and head back to find a campsite in the small town/settlement. Thankfully we get the last spot. After lunch we have a drive and head back to the park. I fall asleep. We stop where the cars cannot keep going and do a walk along the stream. It's mostly clear and sunny but very windy. We stop at the visitor centre which is amazing. Their real life displays of animals and plants is impressive. It's so windy! Our dinner gets a light dusting of dust. It's very nice to have bathrooms again.
