Today our plan was to get to MacKay, mainly because it had rained all last night (again) and we would not be able to get into Canarvon Gorge. So we packed up and were on the road at 9:30. When we got to Emerald, we stopped to get some shopping and look at a big painting (25m). The rest of the day was taken up by heading toward MacKay. But because we couldn’t fing anywhere to stay in MacKay, we ended up staying just south at a place called Armstrong Beach. Our caravan is 50m from the beach (which is really good because I have been deprived of the beach since March). It was 6:30 when we arrived, but it was 20 degrees outside, when it was probably -2 in Canberra.
