MAY 2017 : NORTHERN TERRITORY : Larapinta Trail : Day 7 : Ormiston Gorge and Finke River

 

Today we walked Section 10

 

Leaving Ormiston Gorge

 

Enjoying the pace

 

Views of Mount Sonder

 

This water hole has moved down stream from last year.


 

After several kilometres walking through sand on the river bed we
came across a huge rock in the middle of the river.
Unresistable to some!

 


Halfway for others

 

Lunch at Finke River water hole and a refreshing swim

 

Some bird life along the shore

 

Leaving the river to walk across country

A drink at the pub

 

Simple  presentation to give our thanks for such a special trek.
Our only criticism was the lack of wildlife - so we gave our guides some  animals to comstruct to compensate
