Stopped two nights at the dam the weather being so nice, mostly clear sky light breeze and high twenties. Was going to go paddle boarding on day two but the wind came up in the afternoon, so just relaxed.
Wanted to knock up some kms so planned a big day driving as the wind was strong and coming from the east. Took the road to Rubyvale, now sealed, on to Emerald to provision. Then Springsure, Rolleston and down the Carnarvon Dev Hwy to The Expedition NP.
Stopped for the night at Lonesome Campground in the Arcadia Valley about 16km off the hwy but awesome. Met three fellow travellers, two American girls and a Greek bloke, and traded travel stories around the campfire. They were adamant they wanted to see my blog, it will need work before that happens. Made a cuppa for the girls before heading off, it was -3 overnight and difficult to get warm.
Dora's auto park, parking brake system, started playing up so I had to change out the RGS, grovelling under her on the roadside. Thats the third one in four years. Will order several replacements switches from the states this time.

Looking to main section of Expedition NP.
Lonesome Campground down there somewhere.
2.5 km section of steep, narrow, winding road into Lonesome Campsite, but sealed
