Fitzroy River

This site doesn’t have a name. The WikiCamp reference is “Various Camp Spots“.
Variously we selected one - let’s call it - “Ripper”.
Right on the river / quiet (except for the birds) / private / Short drive off the highway / no bugs / some phone reception.

We met some other travellers, who talked about this place, but they could not find the track in here which is actually not marked on the map.

There is a lot of commotion in and on the water this evening. I wish I had a decent spotlight to see what is going on down there. It does make me nervous about a swim, but at 40° a little splash in the shallows will be fine.

Unusually, it didn’t cool down last night. At 9pm it was still over 30°. We were bug free, so we inflated the air bed and slept outside. Life on the road is not all pleasant idylls because a wind came in from the east and chased us indoors during the early hours. It’s 31°@ 8am, which means we are in for another 40° day.Read more
