Day 83 Ellenbrae Station

 Today is a rest day to enjoy this station and its surrounds. We still did very little but we did drive down to what they call Sandy Gorge which is a very nice swimming hole in the river that runs through the station.

It is a bit of a 4wd track getting in and there are supposedly fresh water crocodiles but we and others jumped in and had a swim. It was quite cold and refreshing but had warm spots in it which was a little odd. And lots of smallish fish swimming with us too.

After that we went up the station itself to see what was happening there. A lot of people eating the famous Ellenbrae scones. We were tempted but neither of us are scone eaters, well i'm not and Karen reckons her scones would be better anyway. So besides its $7 per scone so we gave them a miss!

We then went back to camp and relaxed. We pretty much packed up everything we could and connect the caravan to the 4wd so we can get a very early start tomorrow morning. We want to take it very easy on these stupidly rough roads.

We had a very nice barby tea with pasta salad watched the footy and went to bed. haha
