Well we finally headed off into the great "Outback" to try our hand at camping (no pun intended). As you can see from the pics we arrived just before sunset and erected our "Chateau Mungo" . The camp site consisted of the main entertaining complex surrounded by the sleeping apartments.

As you can see Ron was quick to test out the "waiters friend" on a good bottle of red and with the fire going we settled into the night. One of our first visitors (pictured in the centre) bounced by for a quick drink and I must admit that our presence did not deter him/her from coming into the camp site and helping itself to as much water as it could find. Totally ignoring the situation that there is NO water available for 100klms and that whatever he/she took we went without.

The national park is spectacular, it was a series of great lakes 45,000 years ago supporting a large population of animals, most of which are now extinct. I will post some pics of the "Wall of China" for you to look at. Very isolated but equally fantastic.

After two days the winds picked up and we spent the entire day wondering if our tent would take off, in the end we gave up and left the park.
