    Elachbutting Rock Campsite

    May 22, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    We had breakfast decamped and were on the road by 9am. I thought that was pretty quick and efficient. We headed towards Eaglestone Rock. On the way we stopped at Shackleton where there is the smallest bank in Australia, open only on Fridays from 3pm-430pm. Then we visited the lack luster Bruce Rock and onto Totadgin Rock, where Charles Hunt conducted expeditions in search of water. After a short but informative walk, we headed for Merriden.
    Found the only cafe open for some lunch. Everything was shut in Merriden. Super sleepy town. After Merriden we visited Eaglestone Rock. We had planned to camp therebut after a little wander around the rock, we decided to head to Elachbutting Rock because this campsite is closer to the other Rock attractions and if the weather turned bad we could camp here for 2 nights to wait out the bad weather.
    The only complaint we have is that there are so many flies, so much so that one of the campers remarked that we could potentially be carried away.
