We had a nice night around the fire and headed to bed a bit later than usual. The freecamp was excellent, with clean toilets and showers. Quite a few RVs spent the night, including a couple that we had “bumped into“ at Ceduna while waiting for Turtle’s new alternator. Fortunately they didn’t recognise us (what? Who can miss Turtle) so we didn’t have to entertain them again (a long story involving uninvited guests and campsite intrusions). This morning we headed south again.
We travelled at a leisurely pace, calling into the McPherson Homestead at Carnamah.
The homestead was the home of Duncan and Mary Macpherson who settled in Carnamah with their children in 1868. The Macpherson’s established a pastoral station named Carnamah, and during their 70-year residence their homestead was known as Carnamah House.

From there we continued south until we reached the Jingemia Cave in the Watheroo National Park. We entered via the unsaved road from the Midlands Road and it was pretty obvious this isn’t a popular point of interest as the road was in excellent shape. The stone formations around the cave were very attractive, home to many varieties of wildflowers. We spent quite some time walking around the trails and enjoying the setting.
We moved on to the Koojan Salmon Gum Reserve to set up camp for tonight for a freecamp among the gum trees.
