17 June 2018 Gilbert River

We have just had 4 days doing absolutely nothing at Gilbert River. It’s a big cleared area on the edge of the river, big trees block the view but we could walk down paths to the river. It’s a big one with still plenty of water. Some were catching ‘RedClaw’ like crayfish in flavour. Over the 4 days we naturally met a variety of folk, some we would happily meet again & others quite happy not to!
Nothing bad or nasty just unusual. Dust was a problem, some people drive in & out and don’t consider the dust storm they created. The Bridge is one way & our side is a STOP sign, about a quarter of the traffic obey it. All the Roadtrains & Busses do. One of the campers was a volunteer fireman and had his cap on one day as he was out at the roadside. .......one vehicle went through the stop sign, braked, backed back up to the sign, stopped, then went on. GOlly we all enjoyed that story. His fireman’s cap looks like police!
We didn’t even unhook the caravan. The only thing there was rubbish bins. We do like having a mix of free parking and caravan parks.
