7am and Craig is off having a chat with fellow campers, Jim was fishing on the Wenlock (catching Craig's Barramundi - has photographic proof too) and Ev was looking for the elusive Palm Cockatoo again. Spagetti on toast for breakfast (yum), then as we started packing up, the rain came down for about 20mins. Once it stopped we continued, filled up the water tank and we were off heading north to Branwell Junction and the start of the OTL (Overland Telegraph Line Track).

Stopped at Bramwell Junction about 11.30am for an ice cream and a chat with the couple who run it - always pays to talk to the locals, they know the area and what's been happening on the tracks. Photo's, chatting & ice creams done, 11.45am we were off to tackle the OTL
- first obstacle was Palm Creek & it was a cracker to start off with!

Then onto the Ducie River, had a bit of water in it, but the boys are walking each creek first - they are looking like they all have more water in them compared to when we came up last time. North & South Alice creeks weren't a problem. We arrived at the Dulhunty River about 3.30pm (so about 30klms travelled in 3 3/4 hours). Decided we'd camp the night on the Dulhunty. The Dulhunty had a lovely little waterfall & the river has a rock bottom with potholes in the rock. Took Boris for a swim & Craig got in the "spa hole" at the waterfall.

There were already 2 cars camped here when we arrived & to our surprise another 4 arrived by about 5pm. Had nibbles this afternoon after the swimming, nice fire was made to cook dinner over. Early to bed again tonight - 9.30pm.
