That’s it for WA - have sort of got used to being in WA so its a bit strange leaving already but we have ridden it bottom to top. Some of the scenery across the border.
ViaggiatoreWell done, boys. Enjoy the NT. Hope you’ll have time to cruise Katherine Gorge and visit Kakadu. Keeping eyes peeled for 🐊 of course. Loving following your journey. Thanks for sharing.
ViaggiatoreYes. It was quite a novelty travelling at that speed but a bit terrifying when the road trains overtook us😲

Victoria River

Victoria River crossing. Lots of water further away from the bridge as we were coming into VR. Surprised us at times as the river just appeared along side of us, particularly after some roadworks.
Katherine NT

Spending the night at the Boab caravan park. Very full but grateful they were able to squeeze in our 3 little tents. Apparently “the outback meets the tropics” in Katherine.

Queensland / Northern Territory border

That’s goodbye to easy cruising at 130km. Back onto AEST. NT has been the land of the busted tyres on the side of the road ever since we crossed the western border. On my count outnumbering animalsLeggi altro
Camooweal - QLD
27 giugno 2019, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Our first stop in Qld. The definition of ‘camp kitchen’ is something that needs a little standardisation but we have pitched the tents on grass (!) .... small mercies. Camooweal is the DroversLeggi altro
