On to Tunnel Creek, where a local Bunubu man hid, as he terrorised the local cattle farmers. They stole his land, destroyed the traditional life. He was defending what belonged to traditional owners. He got shot in the end by an Aboriginal tracker employed by the police. Saw three freshwater crocs, got feet wet, made it through the tunnel, very beautiful.
Got to Windjana gorge and set up camp. Went for a walk the following day.
Stayed out at night to check the crocs trying to eat bats and birds that came for a drink. There were hundreds of eyes lit up by our torches. Windjana is also a Devonian era Reef from 360 million years ago, or so.
Walked for a bit up the gorge the following day, as early in the day as we could manage.
