Left El Questro and headed back along the Gibb, stopping at
Home Valley for a lovely coffee, and Edenbrae for scones (Apparently the best
in the world) they were very good!!!! We saw cloud’s to day which is most
unusual!! We arrived at Drysdale station after a lot of corrugation!! A lot
of horror stories and repairs here, but not for us. Stayed for 1 night.
Left Drysdale and headed 220klms north to Kalumburu,
well what a trip it took us 6 hours and the road is 4wd and absolutely crap!!!
We went to McGowan’s Island for 2 nights and this was stunning, and Steve did
fish, however it was very hot, you can’t swim in the sea as croc’s and sharks.
This is an extremely remote part of Australia, the roads are not maintained as
the local’s get all their supplies by barge.
Kalumburu to Mitchell Falls another 6 hour drive, today
we saw a lumpy lizard, about 20 horses, cattle, black cockies, dingo’s, snakes
& eagle's 2 nts at Mitchell Falls, walked up to the falls and back,
stopping at little Merton falls for a swim and spend most of the day at
Mitchell falls swimming and for me getting sunburnt!! Had a fantastic day and a
good close up look of the falls.
Left Mitchell falls and stopped at King River campground for
a swim after a 2 hour drive and now just another 2 hour drive of corrugation to
get back to Drysdale. Many people left there camper trailers at Drysdale or
King River campground as they thought the track to rough to take campers in. We
decided we brought the trailer for this and hence took it and returned with no problems!!!!
