We drove the long straight sealed road towards Cape Leveque and saw some wild horses, huge termite mounds and wild donkeys.
Exciting to be at the start of our adventure on the Gibb River Road.
We had our first night in the jeep (roof tent and ground tent). Rosie and Matt on the roof and Poppy and in in the ground tent. Poppy had a temperature so fed lots but it was nice to be next to her to look after her.
Stocked up at the supermarket this morning and got food for a couple of days. Will restock at Derby, that's where the Gibb River Road starts.
We're at a beautiful campsite tonight called Smithy's (very appropriate). We drove 43km up a dirt road with lots of corrugations and some deep sand to get here. Luckily not many rocks! Matt said it felt fine to drive and the girls liked going ahhhhh over the bumps.
We had walks on the beach in the afternoon and Rosie enjoyed setting up the jeep for bedtime and getting a pile of sticks ready for a fire.
Beautiful sunset :)Read more
