Big Desert NP

Friday, Jan.16

We left Mildura bound for the Murray Sunset NP. On the way out of Mildura we passed the Big Lizzie exhibit. Some interesting info on this beast was available at the site including the interesting juggernaught wheel design.

We drove to Merrinee then turned south down the Mopoke Track. This was mostly gravel but we came across some fairly sandy bits as we approached the southern end of the NP.

When we arrived at the Lake Crosbie campground we found it almost deserted. We selected a camp area each setup and then went to inspect the Pink Lakes up close.
