July 26th -9 km!
Today we enjoyed the Palm valley drive and walk.
The drive in past the picnic area is quite a challenging 4WD drive. There are creek crossings and also some uneven rocky areas which require some thinking as to good placement as you drive.
As we drew closer to Palm Valley itself we started to see the palms -tall ones towering over us, and small ones growing in the shelter of the cliff edges.
We enjoyed the rugged drive into Palm Valley and a walk which should have taken us 2 hours. The stunning views of red cliffs, reflected palms, and water beneath a clear blue sky were enthralling. At one stage we needed to take off shoes and socks to pass across the standing water and continue on our trail. Definitely worth the effort, and it certainly afforded lots of wonderful photo opportunities.

We had a very cool night , with a clear starry night, but very little sunset. We shared the fire with a mix of Tasmanian, Victorian and South Australians.
My apologies that this blog is short. I've written it three times now, and I've had a minor dummy spit, so you have missed out on some of the initial descriptions. Once you see the photos hopefully all will be clearer.
