We know why we came north for the Winter!
Yesterday we had another wonderful day and did exciting things. We left at 8am, car only because the caravan is not suitable for this excursion. It's too big & too low, not an 'off-roader'
We were heading for the Gibb River Road. It's 55k to the beginning of this famous road and then we went about 200 in it towards the west. It is mostly dirt and is not passable during the Wet season unless you have a very special vehicle. There were so many signs that say 'Floodway' so it was very up & down and even had to cross the Penticost River (I got Brian to let me out, then he went back and recrossed it, so I could photograph it.) the next vehicle asked me if I was sure he would come back for me?????
This is the one that would have rescued me!
The mark on the doors is the depth. I loved it, because I knew it was safe. We went to Home Velley Station just to have a look/see, all types of accommodation available & naturally very expensive. Impressive gates.
Beautiful grounds, a tourist hot spot
A donkey or was it me that was the Ass?
The roads were not to bad, there is a lot of traffic in the dry season
Rocks and mountains that appear to be wearing crowns.
Then in the sun they turn red
The formations are amazing 
We also went into El Questro Ranch/Resort/Village & had 2 more water crossings. I love it & Brian takes it in his stride.
Tour buses go there from Kununurra and it's only about $240pp for the day!!!
Our lunch stop was on a lookout , but golly whiskers, it was hot. Yes, Brian now has 'A Man Bag' needed it for the amount you carry everywhere.
All up, a truely wonderful day.
Today our car has been tenderly brought back to its correct condition, lovingly hand washed by Brian & equally lovingly cared for internally by me.......it needed it.
This evening I'm having a haircut by Lisa who advertised on the camp notice board. Results tomorrow.
