Friday 8th June 2012 - Archer River - Eliot Falls

We left Archer River after a relaxed start to the day and drove onto Fruit Bat Falls. What a lovely oasis! We enjoyed a swim there before having lunch followed by another refreshing swim after lunch. It was a nice place to float around and forget about everything whilst under the falls!

After a second swim we drove onto Eliot falls. We had to take part of the telegraph track to get there. Our first real water crossing came upon us and Ed took a bit of time to work out his line. Another couple (Graeme & Sue) came along and we crossed together which was reassuring. It was quite deep at one point. Ed got us across and we headed into Eliot and Twin Falls to camp for the night.

Both the falls were beautiful and we enjoyed another swim before dinner at Twin Falls.
After dinner Ed cooked us a damper which we enjoyed for breakie the next day.
