... it was full and fairly hot. Take off was fine, in fact I hardly felt us lift up from the ground, but then as we started to climb higher the plane started to buck and rock as the wind caught it. I really tried hard not to hurl coz I had horrible images of a domino effect going through the plane- once one starts being sick, they all start, but the more I thought about it the more stressed I became and the ...

... for Greg and then to Mirima N.P to see where there will be a benefit concert for the family of a 13yr old girl tragically killed at an early event of the festival, the car rally. It is here we run into the only person Greg knows from this area &#8211; Ed McNeil. He is a music teacher at the local school and it is his choir and band performing tonight.

... further.<br><br>The lake cruise was very pleasant, lots of islands dotted throughout, some with quite a bit of wildlife.<br><br>At the end of the cruise we got back in the bus and were taken to the Durack homestead museum. The original Durack homestead was flooded by the lake. The plan was to dismantle the homestead brick by brick, and resite it at the museum location. The homestead itself was moved, but the lake filled more quickly ...

... rise high above the campground and light up at sunset a gorgeous deep red. Entry into the gorge is via a Lord of the Rings-type slit in the rock giving you the feeling that there is something magical on the other side.
