Today may turn out to be the highlight of the trip as we accompanied the cyclists along the King River Road and then onto the Kurunjie Track (which was once called the Bedford Stock Route). In order to give the cyclists a bit of a start Nina and I started the day with a return visit to Parry's Lagoon and the nearby Telegraph Hill which once was a wireless radio relay station but is now just a set of foundations with no buildings.

The King River Road skirts the wet lands of the Wyndham river delta complex for about 40 km before coming to a boab tree reputed to have been used as a prison in the early days. A few more kms and the King River road ends at Diggers Rest Station a working cattle station that also provides accommodation and camping. We had lunch in their comfortable kitchen/dining area.

After Diggers the road became a track with long stretches of dry lake bed, short rough rocky sections as the track climbed over small rises between dry lakes and to top it off we hit a few sections of very deep bull dust. This rougher track gave the cyclists the advantage and for most of the afternoon they out-paced us averaging 15-20km/h.

Late in the day the track joined the Pentacost River and followed it South on the rivers east bank. About 8km from the finish of the track (where it joins the Gibb River Road) we decided a wild camp by ourselves on the banks of the Pentacost was a good camping option. So that's were we spent the night.
