Day 25 13/06/2013 Silent Grove to Derby.....the end of the GRR. Before we left this morning we had a short walk along the Silent Grove Creek. Then we packed up, hitched up the trailer and checked lights...... no brake lights again......obviously a more serious problem than just the fuse! We were hoping we could get it sorted in Derby. The first part of our journey took us through the King Leopold Ranges with some breathtaking scenery. We also passed a rock form...

Day 24 12/06/2013 Charnley River Station to Bell Gorge (Silent Grove campsite). Well it certainly was warmer overnight! I don't think I have mentioned that since we left the Diamantina NP we have not had a problem with flies.......however mosquitos are quite another thing! They are present in droves from dusk to dawn, and sometimes in between as well. I seem to be a magnet for them, so I am covered in bites! Not a good look! We were packed up early again and al...

Day 23 11/06/2013 Charnley River Station. We had time for a cooked breakfast this morning .......no packing up to do....it's great when we camp for more than one night! On this property there are several gorges and waterholes to visit and explore, and that is what we did today. I decided to drive; mainly to give Dave a break....he has done all the driving so far.....and also because we were not towing, so I knew that it would be an easier drive! We left at 7.3...

Day 22 10/06/2013 Manning Gorge to Charnley River Station. The walk to Manning Gorge takes around 2 hours there and back, and with a swim included it takes around three hours, so we couldn't attempt it yesterday, as it was too late. There's a sign warning people not to set off later than 2pm. So this morning we packed up our camper and headed off for the walk at 6.45am. The start of the walk begins on the other side of the swimming hole, approximately 50m. Now, ...

Day 21 09/06/2013 Mitchell Plateau to Manning Gorge. After saying goodbye to our new friends we left the Mitchell Plateau before 7am. There is only one road in and out, so we pretty much knew that we had a long drive ahead of us. Again the most noticeable wildlife, apart from birds, was the dingo. One even came out of the bush and chased us for several metres down the track! We stopped at the King Edward River for coffee. There were quite a few oncoming vehicles...
