Driving to Carnarvon from Roma, we took a wrong turn due to dodgy signage and my own misunderstanding, which ended with us getting bogged overnight, and after a grand total of about 8-10 hours of sinking half-metre wide slabs of rock into the bog to pave our way out, while jacking the car up out of it with the same rocks under the jack to give it support, we finally drove out. Terrible experience, but definitely a lesson learned. A good thing though, was that there was a lot of wildlife to and from where we got bogged. Squatter Pigeons, Pale Headed Rosellas and Apostlebirds were birds we probably sighted in their hundreds, then probably a total of 20 or so Emus, nearly that amount of Kangaroos and a handful of wallabies. It was basically the perfect mistake.
