After lunch follow the chain of lakes from Lake Gounter to Lake King to Ravensthorpe and our base for three nights Hopetoun. Note: Wave Rock entry included.

A full day in and around the Fitzgerald River National Park. The park contains over 1800 species of plants with 250 of these being rare and 62 being known to be found only within the confines of the park.
