Ended up bush camping on the Roper River. Beautiful sunset, and very relaxing watching Craig and John fish (didn't catch any thing!). Then got smashed by giant mozzies, packed up early next morning and headed to Elsey National Park. Stopped after a few long, very bumpy hours driving along the Savannah Way, at the Roper Bar store. An amazing shop literally in the middle of no where!! It looks like an old run down house, surrounded by 6foot fencing,all the pr...

We headed "off the beaten track" down the Savannah Way to the Limmen National Park. 3hours to go 115km!! Put the cars and campers to the test,even crossed a deeper creek-which was exhilarating!! Along the way we stopped at the Southern Lost City, a 2.5km walk around spectacular rock formations. We even managed for all 10 of us to wander off the path......and end up a little lost in the lost city. We made it to Butterfly Springs-a beautiful spot-with a lovely sw...

Left Barkly today, headed for heartbreak hotel in Cape Crawford. Perfect camp spot, grassy and shady spot. Pool on one side, pub across the lawn, hot showers-happy days. After a swim, and dinner at camp-we got to be front row, watching Rod Dowsett performing outside at the pub. It was awesome to sit by the camp, have a wine and dance to his country tunes!

Great night in the lovely oasis that is the Barkly Homestead. Kids managed a swim in the pool, we enjoyed dinner and beers at the homestead, watching the state of origin. I was surprised how quiet the Homestead was, there was nothing else for a very long way.

Lovely night spent in Mt Isa-re supply and washing!! 5 loads of washing done! Really enjoyed the facilities at the big 4, cooking in the camp kitchens and many long long showers to wash away the Winton grime!!! Headed for the Barkly Homestead now,crossed the border into the Northern Territory!! Bit of a moment for us all. Aden (our speed police) loved the 130km/hr speed limit, and was a little disappointed we were not going that fast.
