Upper reaches of the Ord River




Tuesday, July 22:
Left Wyndham and headed west to a free camp (506) Leycesters  - Ord River (the rising of the Ord before it flows through the Bungle Bungles to Lake Argyle) between Turkey Creek and Hall  Creek. Stopped at the middle free camp but as there were no time restrictions, people had really settled in taking the shady spots by the river while the top; sealed area was full of overnighters.
This spot is good as we are away from everyone else – some of whom seem hell bent on camping out on top of everyone else.
A couple pulled in near us  - Don and his wife from Tamworth  -who Wal had a long chat with. I gathered fire wood from the Ord River behind us and had enough for a fire so we invited them to join us for drinks around the fire and after tea a cuppa by the fire. We all enjoyed ourselves – the skies were so clear but no shooting stars tonight.
