With a big day ahead of us, we made a quick getaway from Mitchell Falls campground, leaving well before 7am. We literally got out of bed and folded the camper up, although a couple of sleepy heads allowed me time to get a brew made. After a breakfast stop at Lawley Hill, we paused again near the King Edward River to check out some more of the exquisite art painted in the rocks around here.

| The art gallery was amazing in every way |
We found some beautiful Gyorn or Bradshaw figures. These paintings are around 17 000 years old, and remind me of traditional Indonesian puppets.

| The Gyorn (Bradshaw) figures were incredibly detailed |
I sat for a moment looking at the paintings, and then out at the Pandanus Palms and Savannah woodland. I wondered how much the view had changed in this area in the thousands of years since the artist painted their figures, and if there would be anything as beautiful left behind from our generation.
