Saturday 14/07/2012 Day 20: Gagudju Lodge Cooinda to Edith
Falls.
Les is slowly recovering from the
dreaded bubbling belly. We tried 5kms of the Gunlom road and after our fillings
all fell out we turned back. We stopped at the Mary River Roadhouse for a
pitstop and picked supplies at Pine Creek. We decided to stay at Edith Falls.
It only cost $19.50 for the 4 of us for 1 night – water, showers toilets a
bargain. We set up camp and then set off on the 2.6km loop walk (climb) to the
Upper Pool. After nearly passing out from the climb, we then swam in the cool
waters of the falls. It was worth it. On the way down we found some lizards
that were hunting insects. The temperature is still hot. The wallabies must
have big feet, they make enough noise during the night.
Daily Stats: Distance: 248km,
Duration: 3hrs30min, Weather: Still Very, Very Hot, 40⁰C
