Set off today to tackle the famous "Gunshot Creek". We had poached eggs for breaky which were great. We were all on the road by 8:30am and everyone was pretty quiet, don't know if our big day yesterday had caught up with everyone. Marty and l were a bit worried cause we were out of water, only had our drink bottles to go. Then we arrived at Dulhunty River.....glorious fresh water!!!! We all jumped, out once crossing the river, with our toiletry bags in hand. Then...

After a great night sleep we got up amd were on the road by 8:30am. Our destination was Musgrave Roadhouse to hopefully catch up with Dale, Kerry and Mick.
