Met a lovely couple from Victoria. After a quick chat Judy and Graeme rang the Homestead and booked a few nites at 3 Mile.
On the way in my thoughts were about them and hoping they will enjoy the time.Read more
TravelerThanks Toni, I loved following your last adventure acroos the top of Queensland and into the NT. In fact I saved most of the places you both visited for a future trip I hope Viv and I get to do! We leave for an overnighter in Carnarvon on Friday and then into Coral Bay on Saturday. Travel safe.

Early send off from Gnaraloo of new friends from Victoria we met in Carnarvon. Just luv travelling, meeting new people & sharing hidden gems
Drove to Turtles for G's first surf.
No one else there. While G surfed I did my usual shell hunt and had a quick dip.
As we were just about to leave assistance was needed to help out a bogged van. Gotta take a pic!!😎
Also saw quite a few goats and kids. So very cute!Read more
