Mt Gunderbooker

Had cooled down overnight so had a decent sleep...had a coffee and we were off to do the easy/medium grade Little Mountain Walk (4.2km) but the area was closed. Ok, so off to the harder Valley of the Eagle walk which was a 5.7km steep climb to the summit Mt Gunderbooka. Thank God it was a cooler day - 24°C @10.30am. It still nearly killed me - I don't handle the heat very well unless there's a pool/beach nearby lol. We came across kangaroos, emus and goats on the mountain. No snakes though. We did see a few Eagles hunting on our way out. The track was really rocky and steep but well maintained. We sat on a rock at the summit and ate some lunch while taking in the amazing view. The trek down was way easier haha! Although Pete did have a small stack but he's ok. 34°C once we finished. We decided to do the Yapa art site walk also...only 3km return walk to an Aboriginal art site. Had a great day exploring but well tired. Tried to stay awake on the way back to keep Pete company but I failed. Had a nanna nap when we got back to camp while Pete soldiered on an fixed the esky as the screws had all vibrated out! All refreshed and made chicken Buddha bowls for dinner - yummo! Afterwards we wandered down to the flood plain to do some bird watching as I was intrigued by all the different bird calls. Dusk was not far away so decided to head back for a shower - which was each of us holding the shower head up for the other while we stood in a bucket. One of the perks of no other campers, no need to put the shower tent up! Now for a couple of vinos and off to catch some zeds.Read more
