Went for several little walks around the springs. Was lovely, though a bit hot in the middle of the day.
Rusty and myself decided that even though we could connect to mobile network at Kunawarritja, we don’t want to be notified about world events, and notifications. Rather continue the journey being blissfully unaware.
Although a short day today, it was still a very fulfilling day. We climbed up to Canning Cairn which provided pleasant views of the surrounding area. In our rush to get up the top we missed the rock markings so made our own way up only to find an easier route on the way back. Rusty put out a call on CB and we heard a response! All the way at around Well 22 (about 90km away).
Eventually we made it around to Durba Springs and wow this is an amazing spot. Decided we’d spend tomorrow here, probably do some cloths washing and go for a run.
We walked part way across the salt lake of Lake Aerodrome. It was fairly surreal. After packing up we continued up north visiting the wells.
Passed by yet more burnt out vehicles. A constant reminder of the stakes at play for this trip.
We decided to camp at Well 15. During the day it was lovely though the well was challenging to draw water from. Later in the evening a rotting smell rolled in which made it fairly unpleasant. Presumably something had died nearby but we weren’t able to locate it.
