Sat, 21st May - Galena Bridge

The only area we hadn't visited in Kalbarri was the national park, and due to all the rain we decided against it, as the dirt roads can be slippery and the red mud sticks to everything.  We drove about 70kms instead, to a free camp called Galena Bridge which is on the Murchison River, but back far enough from the main highway to be fairly quiet.  Another pretty spot, but it was cold and the wind was bitter, even though it was sunny.

There was a lot of room for campers but by the end of the day it had filled rapidly.  It was quite boggy on the river's edge and there were signs everywhere that this area had been under water not long ago.  There was even an abandoned sign on the ground near the toilets saying they were closed due to flood damage.
