On the Road Again

After leaving King Ash Bay we headed back to Cape Crawford. On the way we pulled into Caranbirini Conservation Reserve and were amazed to discover a beautiful lagoon filled with water lillies and birds.

We also walked into some sandstone formations that the area is famous for.

There are hundreds of these columns and we were able to follow a path into the centre of them.  The most famous cluster is called the Lost City but it is on private land and you can only access it by flying over at $200 per person by helicopter. John thought walking into this formation for nothing was a steal (thanks for the tip Alison)! You did get a real sense of the grandure and atmosphere I must admit. I know how ants feel now.
The gum trees that grow on the side of the columns that send a tap root down meters to dig into the sand are amazing.
