Drysdale River Station Stay

May 22. Day 20.

Drysdale River Station Stay.

1100/1500. 235 KM.

A cooler than usual night with a temperature of 8 deg when we arose at 6:30.

No stop-offs planned for today, so a bit of admin and a coffee at the Dusty Bar, and then set sail at about 11 am. Back through the Durack River crossing and past the Ellenbrae turn-off. Tempted to drive in and partake of the scones and cream but abstained. Consequently turned off onto the Kalumburu Rd and headed for Drysdale Station, 60 km up an acceptable road.

Checked in, set up camp, and had a nice hot shower and an equally nice cold beer. Dinner was something a bit different. We had bought a butterflied leg of lamb in Kununurra and consequently cooked up a roast on the Weber. Worked a treat. Half of the dinner was leftover , as was the intention, so we could have the balance of it as a cold dinner the following night at Mitchell Falls campsite. An early turn-in ensured as we had an early get-up and pack-up for camping at Mitchell Falls without the AVan.
