23rd April - Dryandra
We stayed in a cabin in the Lions Dryandra woodland "village" camp. Here there are several trails through the woodland of varying lengths. We did the Wandoo walk (2.7km) on the afternoon of our arrival and the Woylie walk (5km) the next morning. While we were walking during the afternoon the light became very strange, dusky and the sun became fully visible as if at dusk (see pic above) mid afternoon. We were aware that a total solar eclipse was happening in the north of Northern Territory during our stay and assumed this was its effect as seen in SW Australia - however we later found that the eclipse had been 3 days earlier - so today's celestial phenomenon is unexplained. |
