Leaving the city behind us we headed up the Bruce Highway, not the most exciting road for our first day of travelling, however the name of the rest area for our coffee break stop made us laugh, it was named Chatsworth Park but showed no resemblance to the one back home in the UK. Friends at home suggested we use the Department of Conservation Sites (DOC) and State Forest Camps as a good place to stop for the night, so we left the Bruce Highway behind and took off down a 10km unsurfaced road into the middle of a forest to Wongi Water Holes. A beautiful and peaceful setting with us being the only humans there. We woke to bird song and the shuffling sounds of a large Monitor Lizard wandering through the camp. He was over a metre long but didn't seem bothered about us.
