We have a early start to commence our travel along the Munja Track. This is a rough track and we hope to make the Bachsten Camp but we see how we go. Our travelling companions are late and let us know to continue on.
We thankfully meet up with some experienced travellers on the track so we continue on. We cross the Hann River, Mary Road Creek and Drysdale River with little trouble. The track quickly deteriorates with the Magpie Jumpup posing a challenge with our long range tank, which is quite low and vulnerable. We push our way through a deep 70m boggy patch and another few kilometres bring us to Turkey Creek campground, we have a cuppa with our travelling companions.
We travel on a bit further to look at some aboriginal art. The art is a mixture of Wanjina and Gwion both are impressive. When you consider 200 plus generations have likely passed since some of them were painted it’s quite mind blowing. We are travelling through Ngarinyin country which we are thankful for the pleasure to do so. The landscape is stunning and the bird life is unbelievably prolific.
With our travelling companions keen to continue and our Kununurra friends still not heard from at Mt Elizabeth Station, thankfully we have a satellite phone, we head back. Just before the Drysdale River they arrive.
We set up camp North of Drysdale River and enjoy a night in one of the most remote area in the Kimberley. Wild cattle, dingoes, curlews, blue-winged Kookaburra and a chorus of frogs usher in the night.
