Day 20 - Tibooburra to Mutawintji 7/10/15

Today's drive wasn't too long. Some of it was on bitchumen and some was on dirt but finally and thankfully not corrugated. There was nothing interesting that happened on the drive. We saw a lot of road kill and then a plain nothingness all around us. When we got there we set up and all sat around in the shade. I had a bit of a nap and when I woke up and sat back outside, Tracey Downs asked if I wanted to go for a walk. So about 20 mins later Tracey, Kenna, Indi, Ra and I were in the car going to a walk into Mutawintji Gorge. It was nearing sunset when we started out 6km walk and we saw a million goats and kangaroos all eating. There were a lot of cute joeys. The walk felt like it was going on forever and it was all through paddocks and stuff so there was nothing really too interesting to look at. When we were almost at the gorge we swooped by a flock of budgies. They scared us quite a bit because we weren't expecting to be swooped by budgies! When we reached the gorge it was really pretty. The creek bed was dry but the trees and the slowly setting sun was an amazing sight. We took photos and explored a bit before having a short break with chocolate eclairs Tracey brought as a treat. We then started to make our way back to the car. On the short car ride back we saw heaps and heaps of goats and kangaroos again. When we got back to camp we told everyone how I walk was and sat around the fire for the rest of the night.
