Saturday - We ended up staying at Edels Grove all the sites where booked at Lawnhill Gorge, it ended up being a nicer location. Adels Grove occupies an area of some 30 hectares and is boarded by Lawnhill creek on one side to Louie creek on the other side, it was first surveyed in1904 and declared a "Miners Homestead Perpetual Lease", in 1930 the lease was purchased by a French botanist Albert De Lestang, the Adels part of the property name is taken from his initials and as such perpetuates his involvement in developing the property.
This morning we hired a canoe and went for a paddle up the river.
In the afternoon we booked on a sunset tour to Harry's Hill to watch the sunset with a wine and nibbles. Harry's Hill was named after an Aboriginal elder who to come to Adels Grove and took tours up to the hill and explained about the history of the property and watch the sun set, when he passed away the owners decided to continue the tours and decided to call the hill, "Harry's Hill".
Tomorrow it's off to Julia Creek.
