Stopover en route to Jimba Jimba Station

About 80k down the road from Jimba Jimba Station is a Gravel Pit stopover. Gravel pit doesn’t sound very sexy does it? However Gravel Pits have - unsurprisingly - gravel. This is a good thing as the gravel covers the red dirt - clean camp.

And then to Jimba Jimba.
