Woke at 4.45am. A few camper vans had pulled in while we slept. (Asleep by 6.30pm!)
Grasslands quickly morphed into outback scrub and termite mounds. Saw some interesting decorations!
Gradually came down from the tablelands with some very welcome downhill runs - the first since we left Camooweal.
Each run was announced by a Crest sign, which we eagerly looked out for.
Arrived at the Rest Area by 1.45pm, tired and hungry - as usual just a stony, red clearing and a picnic table.
Planted our gear to claim a patch, then celebrated by heating a freeze dried Apricot Crumble!
The ground is so stony that the tent pegs are bending. Hope there's no wind tonight, because we'll be the only things holding it down - and my mattress has a definite leak so I feel every bump!

Hoping for a good night's sleep. We have a long, tiring day tomorrow.
