Day 1 - Lockington to Mungo National Park

Well the adventure has begun.. 
Started off driving from Lockington to Mungo National Park. Great drive. Took about 5 hours.

First Russellism...  Russell forgot to take keys out of caravan door after we took off , so we had to pull over almost before we began.. Its going to be a long trip..

Stopped at the big tree at Big tree at Moulamine for lunch.  Sadly we didn't see THE big tree. Saw plenty of others..

Had to let tyres down once we got onto the dirt roads, just at the start of the Mungo National Park.  Took some great shots..
Arrived at the Mungo world heritage site on dusk. Set up at Main Camp.

Dinner was spag Bol. 

Saw heaps of wildlife during the day - wild Emus, Kangaroos,  goats, sheep, hawks, wedgtail eagles.
