After placing my stone on the cairn & when I turned around to head back down the track a LARGE BROWN SNAKE slithered across the path behind me. I just caught some movement out the corner of my eye & nearly had a heart attack, just abit to UP CLOSE & PERSONAL FOR MY LIKING!!!!!

 

The old woolshed has been turned into a very upmarket restaurant for the guests staying in the cabins & eco camp

These emus got spooked when we passed them on the road & we actually saw them jump the wire fence. Having long legs sure does help!!!!!!!!!
