Day 11 We are staying here in this place for another night, so there was no pack up this morning which was nice. Woke up this morning after been eaten alive by mozzies or sand flies or something. So have spent the whole day with the most terrible itchy bites all up my legs and arms- think I'm slowly going insane with itch. Waited and hoped that the water situation would be fixed sometime this morning so I could have a shower - think it came back about 10am. Mu...

Day 10 So today I'm officially over this trip. We left Mitchell Falls Plateau this morning out along the two hours of bumpy terrible road we went in on two days ago. Lucy was carsick again pretty much all the way too which didn't help. So we stopped at the end of the Mitchell Falls track for a quick rest and snack hoping to make Lucy feel a bit better. Erika needed to go to the toilet, but there were none and she didn't want to squat so Andy had to dig the to...

Day 9 So today we were all up early cause we were excited about the day and especially the helicopter. But the start was rather horrific.

Day 8 Today we left Drysdale Station about 8am and were headed to Mitchell Falls. Started out on the slightly rough road, we drove on this for about 100km until we turned off the Gibb River Road and onto the track to Mitchell River. Well, oh my gosh this road was way rougher, but we have been on rougher when in the Cape in 2009. We travelled about 5km from the turnoff and came to the King Edward River camping ground. We had lunch here and there was a little ...

Day 7 We left El Questro this morning and paid $2.30 per litre for unleaded - almost fainted at the bowser. We were headed for Drysdale Station which was only 4 hours today and should've been easy, but we started off again today with Lucy feeling the dreaded carsickness and not eating her apple again didn't help the situation. We stopped along the way for lunch at Ellenbrae Station which is famous for it's scones and now we know why - the were to die for. The...
