Homestead Trail & Sunset

After lunch we walked along the Homestead Valley Trail. It was slightly longer and had a bit of uphill but the track was fairly easy to walk along. We had beautiful views surrounding us of the Bungle Bungles and the Ormond Range. We arrived at the end of the trail where we were surrounded by a valley. There was information about the cattle yards in the area and that there used to be a homestead in the valley however there is no evidence of one.

We continued back along the track admiring the view before arriving back at the car. We drove to the Stonehenge trail which was a short 500m track which had lots of information about the native plants in the area and the uses for these plants.

We drove back to the Wilderness Lodge where we relaxed and showered before heading out with Jayden to watch the sunset. We drove to a lookout spot just around the corner from the lodge which had views of the Bungle Bungle Range. Scott and I thought we would be watching the sunset but Jayden said it’s about seeing the Bungle Bungles glow as the sun sets. We set up our chairs and had a drink with some cheese and crackers and watched the bungles glow as the sun set. It was really beautiful.

We headed back to the lodge and had dinner out the back with Jayden and Josett. I had a vegetable curry which was delicious. Josett told us about her adventures and that she is a chef and it was great meeting some of the people Jayden had been working with. The workers get the leftover wine and soon Scott and I had a few to many glasses of red wine as our glasses kept getting filled.

We said goodnight to everyone around 9:30pm and I even got lost walking back to our tent.Baca selengkapnya
