Borroloola 23/8/15 A heavy fog hung over the springs as we were leaving this morning. If anything, the moisture settled some of the dust on the road. We drove past Bauhinia Downs to the turnoff to Carpentaria Highway as we had decided to check out The Western Lost City in Carabinni Conservation Reserve. Just a short walk around and between the sandstone formations which looked similar to The Beehives but on a very small scale. We are camping at Borroloola for ...

Lorella Springs Station 20/8/15 Looking forward to some remote camping at the family owned station situated on Rosie Creek. It is surrounded by Limmen NP which was declared in 2010. After reaching Cape Crawford on the Carpentaria Highway to refuel ( Heartbreak Hotel), we tracked back a little to Savannah Way travelling some 100km across the challenging 4WD road until the station turnoff. Another 30 Km into our camp over all types of road conditions, corrugation...

Daly Waters 19/8/15 A few hours drive south along the Stuart Hwy to the iconic Daly Waters Pub.

The pub is historic and contains a wealth of information about settlement / droving days but it is more about the memorabilia which has been displayed from people's visits ove...

Bitter Springs 14/8/15 Time to replenish supplies in Katherine as this will be the last significant town until we reach Borroloola in several weeks time.

Camped on the banks of the Waterhouse River which feeds into the Roper R. and the thermal springs just 200 mts upstream, which we frequented every ...

Katherine Gorge 11/8/15 Sad to leave our friends in Jabiru but great memories! Arrived at the gorge after lunch and found a good campsite backing onto the NP for the next three nights. Checked out the general surrounds in the afternoon and planned the following two days. An eight Km return hike to Pat's lookout was a good workout. The view over part of the gorge was worth the 1.75hr effort ( worked off some of Lou's home baking). The gorge is a very popular des...
