Tuesday An early departure this morning as we have no bread for breakfast. We're packed and gone before 8am and call in at the BP for breakfast. Off to the Mary Kathleen Museum (some more about Mary Kathleen later) where we spent an hour looking at the exhibits and then onto the John Flynn Place and Royal Flying Doctor Museum. Wow - this place is amazing and we spent over 2 hours here looking at the history of the service, the telegraph and planes. We'll worth t...

Monday We get away a bit earlier this morning - 8.45am - and head back to Normanton to refuel. Well actually we get about halfway and Martin decides to use the final gerry can of fuel as he doesn't think we'll make it on what's left in the tank. After putting the 20 litres in he says that if we need more than 70 litres to refill we wouldn't have made it. We stop briefly in town to take photos of the replica Krys the crocodile - the largest croc killed in Austr...

Sunday Another day in Karumba so no rush to get up this morning. We have a lovely breakfast of bacon and eggs and then drive into town.

We visit the 5 star supermarket because we are intrigued by the rating. It really is a very small supermarket but down the back you can also buy fridges, washing machines, T...

Saturday After swapping contact details with Pat and George we head towards Karumba. We had booked at Normanton and were planning a day trip out to Karumba but so many people had suggested the other way. We've checked WikiCamps and there are three parks at Karumba Point. Other travellers have recommended the last park you get to but the Wiki write ups aren't that great (say it's a nice spot but packed in and staff a bit rude). The middle one seems to get the be...

Friday Up showered and breakfasted before 8.30 and then we start to pack slowly. I make some sandwiches to have for lunch when we get back from the tour. As we are packing the camper up one of the he couple from last night comes over and asks for a demo. We show them around and they are very impressed. By the time we're finished with them it's 10am and we have only 15 minutes to finish packing up and get to reception for our tour - we make it with minutes to spa...
