Drysdale River Station

Yesterday we spent the night at Drysdale River Station.  On the way we saw an adorable baby Dingo and something I had wanted to see for ages, WILD HORSES!  2 wild horses were walking along the bumpy road, one was black and one was the colour of the red dirt and both had a messy mane.  That night we didn't have to cook dinner ourselves,  we had dinner with some others campers prepared for us by the staff working at the station.  At 7:00pm we sat down under the fairy lights at our own fancy table ready to be told our meal was ready.  As soon as they told us to line up,  we served ourselves from the Buffet.  I had some lovely Broccoli, Potato, Rice, Beef Stroganoff, and some pieces of Roast Lamb.  It was all delicious and I was glad that there was no dishes to do.  After a while we had a surprise dessert of lovely ice-cream, it was supposed to be Sticky-Date Pudding with ice-cream but they had run out so we didn't get some.  

Today we left our caravan behind for the second time to drive along the terrible Mitchell Falls Road. On the way we stopped at 2 special locations where you can find ancient Aboriginal Rock Art.  At the first spot we found lots of pretty paintings of stick figure-like people, faces, ceremonies, animals and prints.  Most of the art was painted thousands of years ago and was mostly painted in faint yellow and the colour of red dirt.  We also went though a long creek crossing which was quite cool, but we had to drive carefully.  When we arrived we had lunch because we were really hungry and then set up our 2 small tents.  Once we had that ready we went for a swim at a waterfall called Little Mertens Falls not far from camp.  I didn't actually swim there but I went into a cave behind the waterfalls and sat under them.  When we were having our dinner (in the dark) we heard some rustling noises and saw dark shapes scuttling across the ground.  Once we shined the torch light one them mum told us what they were, Quolls.  They are adorable creatures, they are quite like a Bilby but have white spots.  Every now and then we had to shine the torch around to find the Quolls scuttling away from next to our chairs.
