Big Crystal Creek 12 6 05

Stopped at Ingham and picked up some lovely cheese at a delicatessen. It was very much an Italian migrant area so the deli was heaven to the chef, Heather! She got carried away buying sausages, pasta and cheese. Didn’t even wait for tea and we cooked at the next rest spot for lunch.
We then went onto the Big Crystal Pool National Park campsite ($8). It was a very bumpy bit of road for a while, but worth it. This was an amazing national park with a clear pool for swimming, consisting of smooth rolled stones. The water was crystal clear due to the quartz sand with no mud. We both had a fantastic swim amongst the fish. Surprisingly it was quite warm in the water so we went in a few times, once we were sure there were no eels.
