Lake Argyle to Violet Valley Campground

After the torrential rain last night we are not sure of our final destination today. It depends if the roads into the Bungles are open. We head out across the Argyle wall for a look, then stop at an ancient aboriginal resting place with wall art of crocodiles. We explored the nooks and crannies of the cave, sliding down a Shute into an antechamber. Micobats were fluttering around. It felt peaceful and was so beautiful.
Into Kunarrara to top up provisions $1300 of groceries later and we are off! While Rachel was shopping we checked out an aboriginal run cafe Blak Tapas (fabulous coffee!) And a beautiful art gallery featuring local artists. I could have bought several pieces, really had to restrain myself.
After lunch we have 5 hours more travel to our destination. Saw brumbies grazing, dingoes and kangaroos on the grassy Plains. We've run out of daylight so camping at Violet Valley. A slightly cooler night, the first I could even bear the thought of a camp-fire. We all pitched i to beat the dark getting our tents up, then prepared a green curry, and ate around the campfire. Music, chatter, great conversation.
