Fitzroy Crossing

We drove 392klms this morning after watching the sunrise over Dampier Creek inlet off Roebuck Bay, Broome, and pulled up briefly at Fitzroy Crossing township. We were amazed to see caravans queued up at the Lodge entrance as we passed. The Lodge was set on the banks of the Fitzroy River and was lush and green with beautiful trees.
The Fitzroy River is one of Australia's longest river with a huge catchment (90 000 square kilometres). In the wet, enormous volumes of water flow down the Fitzroy.
The Fitzroy Valley is home to mow than 40 Aboriginal Communities, a combination of 5 different language groups.Lue lisää
