We planned to stay at the documented camp site just after Well 10 however we didn’t find it. We pressed on expecting a camp site at Lake Aerodrome. Coming over that dune was a breath taking experience. We never found a camp site at Lake Aerodrome and with light fading decided to setup in a relatively clear area - minimizing impact as much as possible (unlike those who have been driving across the lake bed :/ )
Our campsite at Lake Aerodrome
At camp we had to repair the sand flag as the flag had come off and the mount was loose. The roof rack was also tightened and refitting caused a slice to my hand. Cleaned with alcohol wipe and bandaid.
Decided to make today an easy day, and take advice from those who just completed the CSR that Milyinirri (Well 6) would be nice. They weren’t wrong! Lovely gums. A somewhat oasis in the middle of near sandy desert.
Yapurn/well 4B remains
It’s hard to express just how amazing it is to suddenly roll into this little area so green, vibrant and full of gum trees.

This felt like the first real night on the CSR. Our plan was to stay at Kalkalong (Well 2A) but pushed on to Kuta Pila (Well 4A) as we had plenty of daylight. Truly a unique experience being so remote. We saw one other vehicle though it wasn’t even on the CSR.
The changing landscapes show just how quickly our land changes, even out here.
