Salvator Rosa Section, Carnarvon National Park


5 July 2018 - Salvator Rosa Section, Carnarvon National Park

 Our destination today was the Salvator Rosa Section of Carnarvon National Park.

This involved a couple of hundred kilometres of dirt roads and 4WD tracks.  The first feature was China Wall Rock, which looks like lava has flowed down into a crack in a rock and set, and then the surrounding rock has eroded away.  The second feature was Spyglass Peak – this is a large rock feature with a hole 10m in diameter through its top.  Next up was Homaranthus Hill – a short steep climb to the top rewarded us with views of the surrounding area, including Three Sisters and Pythagorus Rock.  Going further along the track, we stopped at Belinda Springs – the water flows from a creek, under the rock and gushes out at Belinda Springs at an amazing rate.  Last stop for the day was Mitchell’s Spring – a very large reed filled area that was another campsite of the explorer Major Mitchell.  On returning to camp tonight we joined a very friendly crowd with most of the campers gathered together for a chat.
