Palm Valley

Another trip recommended to us was Palm Valley in the Finke Gorge National Park.  The home of Red Cabbage Palms that are the last remnants of vegetation from 20,000 years ago.



A nice spot but so hot Penne worried that Hamish's comical monologues being more odd than usual was evidence of heat stroke.


The road in was a "high clearance" 4wd track which had me worried because I wasn't sure whether ours still qualified when fully loaded.  We successfully negotiated a few dry river crossings and sandy sections when the road appeared to end in a bunch of large rocks, it took a moment before we realised that was the road.



After 30 mins of slowly bumping across, up, down, around these we arrived intact with no more dents than before.
