19 Aug 2010 - Barrow Creek





The morning sunrise saw a hive of activity at the "Marbles". There were about 40 campers that stayed overnight and among them some keen photographers with tripods to catch that perfect shot. Our two nocturnal members Pete & Kev were up on the rock at dawn as well. Max was content to capture the two of them from ground level. Hitting the road again we travelled through subtling changing countryside to Wauchope (pronounced Walkup) for your benefit Ken. Then onto Wycliffe Well (apparently the site of numerous UFO sightings) and further to Barrow Creek where there is another Telegraph Station. The hotel at Barrow Creek is original and we could not help but ask for the local opinion on the Peter Falconia incident. I think the locals are tired of the questions (understandable) and replied the courts decided so why should we question the decision. We then headed for another night on the road where we filled the afternoon with another game of Rummy O and Bocce (I'm not sure of the spelling).
