    Arrived after 2.5hrs on unsealed roads. No-one else here so we had the pick of the sites! Chose a nice shady site next to the dry creek bed. Amazing here, really pretty and about 20 degrees cooler which is a nice change. Hiked the Mutawintji Gorge Track (8.79 kms) the first day and the Homestead Gorge Walking track and Rockholes Loop walking track the next day (11.7 kms). The scenery is just stunning and is hard to get a photo that captures it (on my phone lol)! Great campsite with showers & flushing loos (yes!)...there was a resident baby snake in the men's and it finally moved on on our last day haha! Guided tours on the Homestead historic site didn't seem to be running...we tried to contact the Ranger but maybe on hols? Not as many flies & mozzies here but ants a plenty! Stand still for more than 2 seconds and they're up your legs...quite funny if you're not the one doing a jig to get them off you 🤣Read more
