Palm Valley

After a night out at Ormiston Gorge we headed out to Palm Valley which you access from Hermannsburg.
Palm Valley is a great camp site out on the Finke River.
It's said that the Finke River system is one of the oldest in the world.
The track meanders along the river bed for much of the way.
The track definitely requires a four wheel drive to get out there. It's only about 20 kl's or so out to the camp site but because it's slow going it took us about an hour and a half to get there.
The section from the camp area to the valley proper, was even slower going and requires a reasonable level of four wheel driving skill.
That night we cooked on the campground BBQ. Pauline was startled by a dingo rummaging through our bin when she went back to the Tvan for some things to cook with.
