Gibb River Road cont.

Boys getting water at the Mitchell Fall's camp ground, they ask you to get water here so that the river at this end stays clean for every-one. The swim hole was futher up and the falls themselves are a two hour walk from here.

Eco loo at Mitchell Fall's camp ground, they do a great job in these remote places, but it is amazing what people expect to find, what no showers??

Last leg into Mitchell Fall's camp ground oops this needs fixing, they had so much rain up here there roads where closed for three weeks when we where still in Kununnura.

Entertainment at King Edward, the neighbors(New Zealanders) came over and joined us

Bill with our tent our first try out

King Edward River, wonderfull place to camp and swim could have stayed a week, no crocs and no bities(mosquitos or midgies)

Viewing the art "silly buggers"

Checking out the aboriginal art near the King Edward camp, so easy to get to and so well preserved wonderfull examples of this areas art work

Morning tea, just before King Edward River camp about half way between Drysdale Station and Mitchell Fall's camp, we all needed a cuppa badly at this stage.

So many lovely flowers along the way

Already for the next stage, leaving Drysdale Station Mitchell Fall's here we come.

Another choice of accomadation at Drysdale!!

Bill calling home from Drysdale Station the only phone was in a fridge??

Coming into Drysdale Station we where very glad to get here all in one piece, little did we know that there was worse to come

Huge boab in the gardens at Ellenbrae

Bill's fish at the Pentecost River, had to kiss and let this one go!!

So leaving El Questro we headed up the by now very dusty road calling into the Pentecost River where we camp for three days and Bill caught a baby barra. From there we went on up to Home Valley we didn't stay there though it looked really nice. Next came Ellenbrae where Paul had a problem with his van fridge that they fixed and then we where on our way, very nice scones and cream for morning tea again a lovely little place with lots of birds and a huge boab. This whole area abounds with boabs and they all have a character of their own so many shapes and sizes we have literally taken hundreds of photos of them. Our next stop was a freebie after the turn off for Drysdale Station which is where we planned on leaving the vans, the road at this stage took a turn for the worse and became very corrugated and not very friendly at all. We made a good camp on the banks of Plain Creek where we nearly lost Debbie and Monty's tent with a huge gust of wind every-one grabbed hold and all was well. Drysdale Station was a mile stone in itself and a lovely bush camping place all set up for travellers like us so many people doing this trek now, wonderfull hamburgers and chips what a treat and a central camp-fire that every-one can enjoy we meet Ron Moon the chap who writes all the touring books very interesting speaking with him and he told us about Port Warrender where we eventually went.
