After breakfast we went exploring. First stop was the Bullita Stockyards and Homestead. There was a letter as part of the display at the Homestead detailing the miraculous survival of a woman during a flood in the 1977. She spent most of the day and the night clinging to the branches of a dead tree with only her head above water for most of that time.

From there we drove out to Limestone Gorge. The campsite here was closed and looked like they were unlikely to open it any time soon. The track was closed about 2km from the campsite but there were a couple of things to see along the track. At one spot there were two natural dam walls in the creek. They are called Tufa Dams and are caused by a build-up of calcite on tree roots which gradually dam up the creek. The creek contains that much soluble limestone or calcite that all the river rocks are covered and joined together.

On the way out there we saw a dingo but unlike the others we have seen this one was a very dark brown. Back to camp for lunch and then relaxing for the afternoon.
