203kms / 10 ½ hrs We were awake just after 5:00am this morning and were surprised how light it was outside as normally it's pretty dark till closer to 6:30am. We watched the sunrise and got ready for our big day in the Bungle Bungles. We only had to drive about 8kms down the road to drop off the caravan but when we arrived there was a gate to be opened. Out I jump, but half of the gate was broken and next thing the broken gate knocked my thigh and so I wa...

403kms / 6 ¼ hrs Today we hit 10,000 kms in 5 weeks and 2 days! Bronte had us up early this morning so we left Fitzroy Crossing at 7am. We had to stop about 4 times within the first hour of the trip for toilet stops, so we didn't get a very good start! After a recommendation from a fellow camper we stopped at Laarri Gallery (which is 170km from Fitzroy Crossing). It's an aboriginal art gallery attached to a school. The art work was beautiful and we wou...

97kms (plus 48kms sightseeing) / 1 ¼ hrs The Lake (Ellendale) - Fitzroy Crossing - Geikie Gorge - Fitzroy Crossing We left The Lake (Ellendale) at 7:00am this morning for our short drive to Fitzroy Crossing. We arrived at 8:15am and checked into the Fitzroy River Lodge. It's a beautiful caravan park right on the Fitzroy River and the sites are really big and shady. You could fit 2 vans on our site! The kids had a bike/scooter ride and then we were tryi...

186 kms / 2 ¾ hrs Derby - The Lake (Ellendale) Today was a relax day with Roger washing the car and caravan and the kids going for a bike/scooter ride. We saw the white peacock again today but unfortunately it didn't have its feathers up. We also saw some of the parrots in the trees. We left the caravan park at 9:30am and did a quick shop at Woolworths and then drove the short 186 kms to The Lake (Ellendale) which is 95km W of Fitzroy Crossing. It's a p...

We certainly had an adventure today! We were up at 6am and on the road by 7am so we could visit Windjana Gorge and Tunnel Creek. We drove along the Gibb River Road and there was some smoke (as they are back burning) but all good to keep going. We thought we would go to Tunnel Creek first as it was past Windjana Gorge. So me being such a great navigator had Rog continue past Windjana National Park as there was no sign to Tunnel Creek so I assumed we had to ...
