Days 4 - 9 (19/4 - 24/4): Culgoa National Park to Tilpa (Morowari - Ngemba - Barkindji countries) (including maybe Bardaji, Murrawari and Nyirrpa countries as well)
DAY 4 (19/4): We are officially stuffed after walking 11.5km and cycling for 10km today so it will be an early night. We decided to get an early start for our walk, since it is quite hot out here (reaching 30 degrees today) and most of the country is pretty exposed with only dappled shade. At 7:30 we started out by cycling to the start of the Yuruwa Track (Sandhill Track) a little over 5km away from our camp. Thank goodness we brought the bikes. An extra 10km of walking would have been too much in our currently unfit state. The walk traversed a range of different habitats and soil types. We started off in the black soil country, where the slightest bit of rain makes the roads/paths unpassable. Despite the two floods here last year, the country has well and truly dried out and the black soil has returned to its dangerous pot-holiness. Apparently each year numbers of heads of cattle have to be put down because they break a leg by falling into the ruts and holes mad...
