Thursday (yesterday) we packed our lunch and headed out into the national park for a drive. We did about 60ks in 4WD along rough bush tracks, over dry lake beds, through the sand dunes and along 7 mile beach. We only gave up at the end of 7 mile beach when we couldn't see any other vehicle tracks-travelling by ourselves, we'd have hated to end up axle-deep in soft sand unable to get out!

I especially loved being able to get out on the sand dunes and know no one else had walked on them (at least that day). I laughed when an emu and his 6 chicks ended up on the road in front of us at one stage. We were in a paricularly sandy spot where we couldn't stop and the bush either side was so dense he couldn't get off, so we all had to keep going at about 20ks ph until he and the kids could get off the track about 400metres later.
