    Broome Day 6

    25. kesäkuuta 2025, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Last full day in Broome, which is not a bad thing.
    We've seen heaps, and are ready to move on.
    Spent this morning addressing an issue with my hot water system (resolved), a bit of restocking, and the Matso's Brewery, which a a nice view and a good little Hazy IPA. All watched over by a few Whistling Kites.
    Off to Lombadina tomorrow. An aboriginal community in Cape Leveque should be an interesting change!    Lue lisää

    Hunter Creek & Kooljamin

    27. kesäkuuta 2025, Australia ⋅ 🌬 23 °C

    Tagalong tour into Indigenous land up to Hunter Creek & Kooljamin near Cape Leveque. Some pretty serious 4wdrivng in very soft sand and close tracks, but beautiful spots. Unfortunately tides not right for mud crabs and to top it off, our fishing charter has been called off because of the wind tomorrow!
    Anyway, it was an interesting adventure .
    Cygnet Bay and some beach fishing tomorrow.    Lue lisää

    Cygnet Bay

    28. kesäkuuta 2025, Australia ⋅ 🌬 22 °C

    Our fishing trip was cancelled today, spewin!
    Had a good look around Cygnet Bay Pearl farm and went on a tour around the facilities. Very interesting, but pearls aren't really my thing.
    Had fish & chips for lunch, a look at One arm Point, and read a book. Caught up with Mel on the video, all in all, a good day!
    Some fishing off the beach here tomorrow if it's not too windy!    Lue lisää

    A drive down to Broome from Lombadina. Restocked in Broome and drove on to Willare. Just an over night free camp in the info bay, then on to Fitzroy crossing tomorrow.
    Getting into Boab country now, with plenty wild on the roadside. (not sure what they're mad about?)
    Lots of cattle on the loose as well!
    Looks like another fire and chops on the BBQ..
    Hope the neighbours are friendly..    Lue lisää

    Mary Pools

    1. heinäkuuta 2025, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Drove across from our overnight stay , thru Fitzroy Crossing to the Mary River. Free campsite on the semi dry river called Mary pools.
    Fitzroy crossing had nothing to recommend it other than expensive fuel ($2.36).
    Plenty of birds here 🐦    Lue lisää

    The Bungle Bungles

    3. heinäkuuta 2025, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    A 100km 4wd trip out the Bungle Bungles. Heaps of rocks, dust, corrugations and creek crossings. Aired down to 30psi and the Isuzu handled it beautifully .
    Spectacular scenery, pictures probably won't do it justice.
    Walked up Cathedral Gorge, did the dome loop, Echidna Chasm and Bloodwood Lookout over the Osmand Ranges.
    A big day, so time to settle down with a hard earned 🍺    Lue lisää

    Kununurra & Surrounds

    7. heinäkuuta 2025, Australia ⋅ 🌙 26 °C

    Has a good look around Kununurra, got involved with a NAIDOC demonstration which Trevor was leading at one stage. Quite the radical!
    Mirima NP was good, a walk up to the lookout over town, then off to the Hoochery distillery for lunch.
    A quick trip up to Ivanhoe crossing, which was a bit of fun driving through the crossing.
    A 60km round trip to Molly Springs, which had a great waterfall and rocky pool, perfect for a swim on a 32c day!
    Off to Emma gorge and El Questro tomorrow.    Lue lisää

    El Questro

    8. heinäkuuta 2025, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Over crowded, over priced & over rated!
    Zebedee Springs - could not see the water for the people. Would have been 50% urine for sure..
    Jackson hole was a nice , quiet hole but looked a bit crocolidios for a swim.
    Equestrian Station looked dusty , hot and commercial.
    The saving grace was Emma Gorge
    A long hot dusty walk along a rocky path for a few km ended in a spectacular rock pool and a swim, then onto an even better pool with a waterfall. Plenty of people but managable.    Lue lisää

    Creek Campground

    10. heinäkuuta 2025, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    One of the more imaginatively named free camps today, but we are back in the NT.
    Drove most of the day from Kununurra, down the Victoria hwy and through Timber Creek.
    Pulled up at our free camp, cut & split wood for tea fire tonight.
    Hot and dry, with plenty of flys, so a cold beer is required.    Lue lisää

    Dundee Beach

    13. heinäkuuta 2025, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    Dundee beach, would be a great place if you had a boat. Shore based fishing very limited, with not much else to do.
    Not a bad meal at the tavern. But a bit like Dundee beach; looked good but a bit underwhelming.
    Sunset was good with a bit of haze around.
    Will leave early tomorrow to begin the long trip home..    Lue lisää

    Attack Creek II

    15. heinäkuuta 2025, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    The long awaited return to Attack Creek. We camped here two years ago on the way up north.
    Just an overnighter, but another excuse to get the campfire going.
    Seems I've picked up Trevor's surgical, so will be an AFD for me.
    If you look closely at the second shot, you see a rare glimpse of Trevor drinking a water after 4pm. I believe no other proof of this exists....    Lue lisää

    Camooweal (Georgina creek)

    16. heinäkuuta 2025, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Big day on the road today. Discovered a broken leaf in the springs that had been scrubbing out the 2 front van tyres. Just happened to be the leaf that holds the spring to the van...anyway, a bit of work, a pair of multi grips and a tied down we limped on.
    Had to swap the 2 front van tyres over because of the wear.
    If I can't get it fixed in Mt Isa, it might have to make it home!
    Stopped off after a 500km trip at Georgina River (billabong) just outside Camooweal.    Lue lisää

    Blue Heeler hotel, Kynuna

    17. heinäkuuta 2025, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Long trip down from Camooweal today, though Mt Isa and Cloncurry, finished up pulling into the Blue Heeler pub with an unpowered site for $15.
    All the roadtrains on our trip have been fantastic, good communication on the 2way. Today we met the exception to the rule, but all safe.
    Broken spri g is tracking ok still, no parts in Mt Isa so will have to wait to Brisbane or Coffs..
    Julie has made friends with the Apostle birds 🐦
    Couple of brolgas on the Georgina this morning.    Lue lisää

    Travel down through Winton, Longreach and Barcaldine to Lara Wetlands.
    Got a new tyre for the van but the broken spring fix is still holding, despite the last 13km of trip being corrugated dirt!!
    Here for 2 nights.    Lue lisää
