We left the Imintji Campground quite early because we had full intentions of grabbing a spot at the Lennard River free camp but when we arrived the Lennard River it was not as appealing as we were led to believe it was.
I think partly because the water wasn't flowing and it was quite stagnant.
It is free and we contemplated staying but we had a plan B and that was to drive down to the Gorge Campground that were in the area to visit anyway.
So we did exactly that, the road in was again very corrugated and rough. We arrived at the camp ground, chose a spot and set up. The microwave had tried its best to hop out of its hole and one of the fridge surrounds had broken off allowing the facia panel on the fridge to partly fall out, so I spent a little while fixing both those issues so they shouldn't happen again.
We then decided to drive down the road to Tunnel Creek. It is about another 40 klms on the rough road to get there.
Tunnel Creek is a pretty much what its name says it is, a dark tunnel with a creek running through it. It is quite interesting and a little daunting given that it is pitch black dark and you have to wade through the water to get to the other end of the cave like tunnel.
It is around 700 mtrs long. We wore head torches so we could see. There are frogs, bats and fresh water crocodiles in the creek but it doesn't deter the 100's of people that walk through the creek daily.
By the time we got back to camp it was quite late. Karen spent a bit of time walking around taking bird photos but we decided to do the Windjana Gorge tomorrow morning then leave once we have done the walk.
We heated up some of our frozen premade meals we made before we left Tassie for tea and went to bed in what was a fairly lively camp ground.
