 We are at Carnarvon Gorge Park in Queensland.  On the way here we were on the lookout for roos.  Only dead ones by the side of the road. 

We arrived at Carnavon Gorge national park on Thursday evening after spending a night at a town called Roma. They have some very amazing Bottle Trees. 

Tricia booked us into a tent cabin here at the Gorge. Great place. She is super organized and has taught of everything.The roos were chowing down on the grass in front of our cabin and are eating and lounging in the lawn and flower beds all day. This morning the kookaburras  woke us with their calls. 

Today Friday we did a 15 km hike in the park. What an amazing place. We saw the aboriginal art drawing in the white porous sandstone. The various kinds of gum trees are majestic. The many kinds of palm trees leave us excepting a dinosaur to poke its head up from the underbrush.

Serious drivers have Roo Catchers.
Having a 'Driver Reviver' at a road stop in Injune, with Cathy and Tricia.
We passed about 10 of these bridges over streams on the way to the camp. If it rains you look at the white measuring stick to check the height of the overflow.Tricia tells us Cathy and I will have to walk ahead with a stick.
