Daly Waters




Another day, another national park, another walk in the heat and the rest of us followed the only two lead walkers who had maps but still managed to go the wrong way. So, we walked back to the visitor centre via a shorter loop and David managed to catch a bit of the first test on the telly (sadly whilst Hussey was showing his form). In the afternoon our driver and tour guide - christened 'Rickadile Dundee' managed to spot a frill necked lizard at about 50 metres away on a tree as we were driving past at over 100kms per hour.
We arrived at the Daly Waters Hotel late in the afternoon and were treated to an impromptu 'whip' demonstration (oo er missus) and had the opportunity to sleep outside under the stars in a swag. With the storms still threatening, it was decided that the group would sleep under the roof in the bar area, but we decided between the two of us to upgrade to a room for the night.
