23 July 2010 - Daly River

What day is it....nearly 3 weeks after leaving Sawtell each day blends into the next and it is very easy to forget the date, needing to check each night before doing the blog. Packing up camp is getting quicker as we have moulded into our routine, Max doing the outside and my responsiblility is the inside. There is many a poem and song making fun of the "caravanner" as they arrive and pack up for the next destination. Max was "Car 1" today heading for the Daly River stopping on the way at Edith Falls....it never ceases to amaze me when you drive through what looks like inhospitable country and then you come to a stunning spot like Edith Falls....a beautiful pool surrounded by rock faces with a waterfall plunging into it. There is a camping ground and short/long walks that you can do but each place is the same....there is always a reason to stay longer. The drive to Daly River was very pretty with the vegetation changing to be more tropical in places. The afternoon was spent getting the boats off the roof of Max & Pedro's cars and getting the fishing gear ready for a morning of fishing tomorrow. Local word has it that the barra are not biting but we will have fun trying.
