river bed camping

Red river gum camps @ Agnes Creek-SA/NT border
cant believe we're here!! Camping at the border-even if we only make it this far, we done good!! Last nights camp was beautiful. i remember watching a documentary about these apparant ghost rivers. They're wide, with red sand and massive green gums. The trees look so alive and vibrant compared to the rest of the landscape. Their roots go a long way down into moisture. Anyway, thats where we camped last night!! Just with the fly- we looked up and coulod see the entire sky full of stars. Incredible. Felt safe. Thought i heard a howl...
So many birds today! flock of irradescent green out of a bush, parrotts, hawkes. There was such a shimmering in the sky then it dissapeared. birds travelling all together.had to keep repeating to myself-'homestretch, homestretch, homestretch' to get to the border. fly net super handy!!
