Palm Valley was great. Finke Gorge National Park is to be highly recommended, even though we did not get to see that much of it. We are going to try and get back there and see the area properly, hopefully without a cyclone.
This was our first chance to get the Pathfinder off-road. It was pretty exciting. It is a bit abstract but it is quite fun for some reason taking your car through mud, water, sand and rocks. We have wanted a big 4wd ever since we got together. We went camping once in the parents Subaru Forester. We went to Yuraygir national park in northern NSW and it was a disaster. The forester is not designed for sand and we were promptly bogged.
Now that we have something slightly more capable we are excited about going to other spots and camping where it says ‘only accessible by 4wd’.
Below are some vids of Corinne and I doing a bit of 4wding. They are not amazing but just some baby steps before we get into the bigger stuff.

A steep rocky bit on the way to palm valley
Crossing shallow part of the Finke River, a lot more water was flowing 3-4 hours later
