We headed off again and crawled up the tough rocky Magpie Jumpup stopping for a drink once up the top.
From here on the driving got easier and we made good time to the last water crossing before the end where we stopped for lunch before driving the final few Kilometres back to the homestead to hand in the key and sign out.
Was an awesome track to drive, very remote and relatively untouched ... just the way i like it.

This area still has some traditional values to the Elders.
The traditional death is still practiced where an elder would go out into the bush to die. This is so the animals would clean the bones.
The next season the relatives would go out and gather what bones they could find and place them somewhere significant.
I found a small recess while exploring as there where disturbed stones below it where they had fallen out, it was a bit high up to see into so i took a couple of pics with the camera extended up in my hands.
When i saw what was in there i replaced the rocks.
I wont say where i found these and have put the pics at the end so no one knows where they were taken.
