NORTHING DAY 24 - SATURDAY 23 JUNE 2018

VIA HUMBERT TRACK AND BUCHANAN HIGHWAY TO TOP SPRINGS

Early morning photography was followed by the trip back along that stony creek into former cattle station country now national park.

The way out to Top Springs was via the Humbert Track - following an old trail used by early donkey teams delivering supplies to cattle stations in the area. It was quite safe but demanding driving - constantly up and down through gears from 3rd down to low ratio at times. Boabs are common in this area almost forming forests.


The track is well marked with arrow pointers and distance markers.

Out on the Buchanan Highway we passed through cattle station country with lots of gates to be opened by Beth (since she wanted me to drive).

Top Springs provided "civilised" camping on grass, toilet and shower facilities and a bush hotel .
Sunset was beautiful with stunning tall grasses just over a wire fence from our camp.
