We woke up to an orchestra of birds all doing their morning voice warm ups. It was a true symphony of sounds ranging from high pitched peeps to chirps to loud and gurgling caws and not to forget the R2D2 sounds of the black birds. Another chilly morning but as the sun rose and shone through the fog, we were witness to a wildlife show. First came the little rabbit, then two ducks waddled by followed by a long beaked bird. The wallaby was the big finish hopping by and through the creek to the other side. Then it was a short walk to the edge of the lake to witness the largest pelicans we have ever seen followed by a herd(?) of wallabies bouncing through, one with a joey in her pouch. What a wonderful start to the second day of our GADE (Great Australian Driving Expedition).
Today our destination is Bald Rock, the largest exposed granite rock in the Southern Hemisphere. I have to say, I add this to my list of "how cool is that" things. It was definitely an awesome sight and climbing to the top gave us some pretty fabulous views. We were also quite impressed with the huge boulders we passed along the way.
And from here we have decided to get a taste of the outback, heading west to Texas before setting off to Cunnamulla. Yes, Texas. They have a small town here called Texas - go figure.
