THE MISSING ROCKHOLE

DAY: 14
Another day on the Anne Beadell
Up later even though I woke up earlier I must have gone back to sleep..
All packed up and off we set…such thick thick vegetation for most of the trip..in between big heavily covered sand dunes….

Our stop for M/Tea was an old campsite where someone had left some cut wood…our bonus…….then marching across the road in a long line were a group of itchy grubs so quick them little grubs…..certainly kept us amused watching them….

As we drove along I rested on and off tummy a bit upset today having quick trips to the loos where there is one…

Found our Campsite Anne Beadell Campsite No 4…we drove to have a look for a Rockhole and only found a nearly dry waterhole, with a big puddle of water in it so drove back to set up for the night…wait for the Vans to appear which they did…Bill had put up his drone and we could see a massive Salt Lake...,.we all had lunch then Sheryl wanted to find Len Beadell’s Rockhole he had his grandson baptised in 1993 in the middle of nowhere…. And a look at the salt lake…as we headed down there the Vans spotted a herd of camle's…a bull and 7 of his harem….we took heals of shots I got video they were as curios of us as we were of them…..anyway the track hit more difficult so Dave stayed back..Bill and I knocked a tree out if the way then off we set to find both of the sites…Sheryl was on foot and determined to find it….we found a huge pile of rocks with a small hole in it…but don’t feel it’s it…I walked down to the magnificent salt lake some water in its top end….but what a site I am happy with this but Sheryl wants so bad to find this rock hole called a nana hole
Well she sure found it...turns out it was the waterhole we drove past but due to the water levels being higher you can’t actually see the hole 🕳️….but there was a smaller one on the edge of the dam area..

As the border is only just up the road the our time zone is going to change again, back an 1 1/2 so it got dark very early…and very cold…I had prepared dinner early tonight which turned out a blessing far to cold for this little old duck…not long after dinner 🥘 I headed to bed…I couldn’t get my left foot warm and it was quite painful full due to being so cold…Read more
