Day 130 - Bitter Springs to Barkly H/std

On the road by 8.30. Aiming for Barkly Homestead. Got some fuel at Dunmurra, we were going to fill up, but it was dodgy. The first bowser said no Diesel to use bowsers 2 & 3, and they had a note saying to use 5 & 8. Only put 70 lts in case their tanks were low.

Went to Renner Springs for fuel, BP, so thought it would be ok. Again, stock must be low, only one out of 5 bowsers with Diesel
available.

Went past Banka Banka Tourist Park, not sure what the attraction was, but there were plenty of Vans parked up, strange as it is in the middle of nowhere.

Random rock formations along the way, no wildlife to be seen at all, not even much roadkill.

Got to Barkly Homestead, heaps of vans in the camp. We had a drink with John & Anne and then went to dinner. They had refurbished the restaurant since we were last there. Will always remember Barkly for the day the Queen died.

The Homestead doesn't have the photo wall anymore, which is a shame. They do have a cool old motor bike hung up in the outside dining area and some wrestling goanna's out front.Read more
