We decided to visit Thar-go-min-dah, given the name had caused so much amusement on our last trip to Yo-wah! 
Rather than backtrack to Eulo we wanted to use the Blackgate Road shortcut, which would cut about ...km from the trip.
There had been a fair bit of rain though and the start of the road (at left) didn't look overly promising, so we called in to ask Peter if our plan would be OK. The consensus was that the road should be passable as it had been graded "recently". Of course, "recently" is a relative term!
Although the road looks dry in the pic at right, there were quite a few soggy/muddy sections further along and we had a lot of fun testing Elmer through them.
(We encouraged him with enthusiastic "come on, Elmer" cheers)!
There were many emu families en route, as well as various lizards scuttling through the puddles. We were all a little disappointed when the road ended and we met the bitumen again!
