We said goodbye to Carnarvon Gorge. We decided as we left that we had spent the perfect amount of time there for us. It was a travel day today. We are overnighting in Emerald on the way to Airlie Beach. It was a pretty short day of driving 244km. We passed a town on the… Read More Day 9 Carnarvon Gorge to Emerald
