23rd July
We have had a wonderful time here – we had originally planned to stay 4 nights, but extended to stay again today. We could easily have stay for weeks! It has been a great spot to base ourselves to explore beautiful Lawn Hill National Park and the Riversleigh World Heritage Fossil site, but Adel’s Grove is a beautiful place itself.
The campsite is so peaceful and the swimming hole is awesome!! Crystal clear (very cold) water to just float around on tubes, or to jump into off the pontoon or out of the trees.
The campsite is perfect for BMX riding, with natural, varied terrain and rocky trails. The kids have had a ball!!
We’ve been out and about in the mornings and then back at camp for the afternoons to read and relax. And nights have been spent sitting around our campfire.
This morning we went for a short walk up a lookout and the boys spend ages building these cool rock castles. It was the perfect hands on math/science lesson of balance and forces – and they didn’t even realise.
We are feeling relaxed after our 5 days here and have seen some amazing scenery. Time to head off again tomorrow – west toward the Territory.
