We made camp today at Kingfisher Camp (or as the signs say- KFC). It was a very slow day on the road taking us nearly four hours to travel 150km, The biggest problem being the bull dust, oh and the flat tire. Most to the road was through the one property. We came in thru the back gate, and my job for the day was the gate opener/closer. It was an amazing drive, both the scenery and just how remote it was. We also had several reasonable river crossing which is alwa...

Well it's the last full day at Lawn Hill. We have all had a great time hiking, canoeing, swimming and just relaxing for a few days in one spot. I took Jacob and Caitlyn for a hike up the Island Stack ( Angie was feeling a bit out of sorts so stayed back for a rest; she is still to get into this camping thing fully) the stack takes you above the lower gorge so we were able to peer carefully over the cliff edge in a few places (still no crocodiles). After lunch we ...

Another fantastic day at Lawn Hill NP today. We hired two canoes for a couple of hours and explored the gorge. Jacob, Caitlyn and Joel were in one and Angie and I were in the other.

We canoed up to Indarri falls and then lifted them up into the upper gorge to explore further and right at the end Joel had a go at the rapids. The whole trip...

We had lunch at Gregory River with beautiful clear cascading water- and of course keeping an eye out for crocs, something I am sure will be a daily occurrence for the next few weeks. Lawn Hill is absolutely beautiful. The ...

Spent the morning looking at the sites around mount Isa. This included the Riversleigh fossil museum. The museum has some life size models of diprotidons, marsupial lions and giant kangaroos. There were several fossils out to look at including mega birds and diprotodonts (small diprotodons :) The display gave us a good taste of what we will see at Lawn Hill. The rest of the day was spent restocking at the shops and a few running repairs. A rock had frayed the c...
