Several small lakes formed in the cones of extinct volcanoes occur here, and we visit one, Lake Barrine. Spend the remainder of the day visiting other points of interest including the Curtain Fig, Cathedral Fig and Lake Eacham. After dinner take a spotlighting walk in search of nocturnal species. Found only in Australia, this unique egg-laying mammal feeds early morning and late afternoon on small invertebrates in the river. Jowalbinna bush camp is situated deep in the outback.
Accommodations are in large tents with solid floors, simple furniture and shared bathrooms.
Evening and early morning provides the ideal opportunity to observe the wildlife in unique surroundings. After breakfast, discover unique Aboriginal art located a short distance from camp. These art sites are acclaimed as being among the best in Australia, giving clear indication of the beliefs and way of life of the earliest Australians. Take a relaxing swim in the cool waters of a billabong while a picnic lunch is prepared. Travel east along the Gold Rush Track in 4-wheel drive vehicles.
