We are in site #2. An end site. There would be room for another truck next to us.

There were also no eyebrows raised about "is it a tent?".

We had neighbours both nights. But a quick walk around the campground showed about a quarter of sites empty. Despite being booked.

We could have fitted into any site.

We are headed to Beilba section of Expedition National Park.

But first a stop at the Rock Hole. A short walk from the car park.

We knew there were platypuses in the creek but really didn't have any expectations of seeing any.

9am is not exactly prime viewing time for predominantly nocturnal platypuses.

But there it was. A pleasant surprise.

It dived each time I raised the camera. So, being a fast learner, I held the camera looking at where I thought the platypus would surface. Then mindlessly pressed the "take a pic" button between steadily zooming in. Hoping the focus would keep up.

If we were really clever and knowledgeable we would be chipping away at the stones in the creek bed, identifying which came from what layer.

The "formed track" used to go much deeper into the gorge. We found remnants as we passed the "formed track ends here" sign.

We imagine the layers in the distance.

With a vague appreciation of how it all evolved.

And simply a sense of awe and enjoyment.

This is just the right wing.

Onward to Beilba ..............
