A short day today. Challenging riding but short distances.
Before leaving Dulhunty a troop of guys on a motorcycle tour came through all on DRz400s.

Approaching Gunshot creek and the infamous “Gunshot” which is to the right and the “chicken track” is in front of me. Neither look appealing! There is now another easier chicken track. I have nothing to prove. The easy way around it is for me.

Latches ripped off my left side box from riding next to the bushes. One has to ride in one or the other wheel rut. I will stick to the left now to conserve the latches on the right side box
We had lunch at Fruit bat Falls.
A short distance on and we stopped at Elliot and Twin Falls although.
Spent the afternoon swimming in this amazing water, jumping from the falls and in every way possible lapping up this oasis in a vast tough land. I understand these streams are artesian spring fed. Perhaps the most amazing thing was discovering the source of the artesian water that feeds these year round streams. Apparently the water is Asian! Yes, it comes under the ocean from, presumably, the New Guinea high lands.
The camp ground was pretty average and we heard there was a better bush camp just down the track. Not 5 minutes down the track we came across many little spots along the a crystal clear stream.
