Road to Kaindy

Following an overnight camp at Lake Kaindy, I set out early towards the main road, hopeful to hitchhike back to town. Yet, a crucial oversight became clear – the vehicles were not returning my way, with visitors spending hours at the lake. During the 1.5-hour walk, I grabbed my camera just in time to capture this view of the valley before being enveloped by a trail of dust as vehicles zoomed past.
