I’ve got the right pace these days. I sleep in the bush each night and for lunch I reach a town where I can avoid the heat and buy some refreshment, perfect timing again ;-) I wasn’t sure if I would reach Batchelor today but there was an unexpected shortcut of 10km so I finally made it. And to celebrate that I had a an expensive tiny frozen pizza :-)

Edith falls, day off
One more day off :-) Looks like I’m becoming very lazy these last days. I’ve got so much time front of me so I take the time to visit around. A good thing is, there is stuff to visit around so that’s perfect. Perfect timing as always! Today, I’m gonna walk around Edith falls. There is a path running around and apparently there is more pools where we can swim. Let’s do it!

Barunga festival, third day
Barunga festival, second day
Today, Barunga festival has full started. a lot more caravan and tent appear on the different campsites. There is 7 camp around the village and all of them are nearly full. There is music, some sport competition I did not follow at all and some different workshops I’d like to participate too but it’s another $35. There is a supermarket as well which is good for me because I’ll need some more bread and other things. But the price are cracking expensive. Better than the roadhouses but still high. And finally, we could see some Aboriginal traditional dance.
