On the Way to Stokes Inlet Dec 2

We woke to rain and low cloud so there was no point in doing our mountain walk. It was the first time we had to drive in rain since the start of our adventure.
We headed through the Stirling Ranges and down towards Esperance which was about 350kms.
You always see interesting things on the road,although there was very little traffic really.
Much of the landscape was in the wheat growing area and we went through so many towns with the ending of UP.
Evidently it comes from the Aboriginal Noondgar language,meaning either place of, water place or meeting place but probably all three.

A Friendly Bandicoot visited our camp, they are usually very shy

The rain stopped and we decided to go to Stokes Inlet NP which sounded good and we booked in for 2 nights as the camp host told us about a great sounding walk. Last night we enjoyed happy hour with 8 other travellers ,its where you pick up great tips on places to go. The walk was lovely and we had a quite afternoon. I especially enjoyed the fact we had coverage and so could catch up on the blog and spend some time researching things.
