17th June 2014 Keep River National Park

A beautiful quiet night, so different from being in a caravan park, it was another clear cool one, but I closed all the windows and stayed toastie warm.
When we finally got going we went to the other end of the park, there is another really good camp site there as well, generators not allowed in that one.
There is a  7km trail here that takes you up on the range and down around the base, the whole area is like a mini Bungle Bungles, but with lots of vegetation, very green,  lots of flowering trees and small flowers, there were birds everywhere, at the Bungle Bungles there was nothing like it. On the way back we came across the black cockatoo again,  we tried to get some good photos showing their tail, easier said than done.
Along the road was the area with the brolga, it was in a marshy area, we wanted to try for a good photo,  so we put on long pants, in case of tiger snakes, and of course some bandages, then off into the rushes and water.
The birds are clever they keep a nice distance in front, it is hard without a really good telescopic lense.
Another camp fire tonight and a beer.
