    Timber Creek

     May 29, 2018 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 19 °C

    Nach 4 Stunden Fahrt erreichten wir "Timber Creek".
    Auf dem Weg sahen wir wieder einmal ganz viel NICHTS. Wir durchfuhren den "Gregory Nationalpark". Dieser ist um die 13.000km² groß und befindet sich in der Übergangszone von den Tropen in die Wüste. Benannt wurde der Park nach 'Augustus Charles Gregory', welcher 1855/56 die erste Expedition hierher unternahm. Für uns war die karge felsige Landschaft jedoch eher ermüdend und unspektakulär. Lediglich die vielen "Adansonia gregorii" (=Affenbrotbäume) waren etwas besonderes.^^
    In "Timber Creek" übernachteten wir beim 'Wirib Store and Tourism Park'. Hier in der Umgebung leben sehr viele Aborigines vom Stamm der Ngaliwurra, die damals den weißen Einwanderern dabei halfen, sich in der Region zu orientieren. Auch vor dem Roadhouse lungerten wieder so einige auf der Straße herum, was uns nach wie vor ein mulmiges Gefühl verleiht.^^
    Auf dem benachbarten Campingplatz sollte man mit etwas Glück Süßwasserkrokodile sehen. Das hatten wir natürlich nicht, dafür entdeckten wir aber hunderte Flughunde die in den Bäumen an dem Flusslauf über dem Wasser hingen. Unglaublich, wie laut die sein können.😅    Read more

    Katherine to Timber Creek - NT

     July 6, 2016 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    Overnighting at Timber Ck before we cross the NT/WA border tomorrow. The town of Timber Creek has a stream (from Victoria River) which runs behind the camping area and is populated with some fresh water crocodiles and a colony of black flying fox. I was lucky enough to spot several "freshies". The largest would have been 5 feet in length. They get fed 3 times a week but today wasn't a feeding day. ..guess they thought they'd come to see if they could get lucky. 😜 Timber Ck is also famous for its boab trees. Grey Nomads, regular visitors to this area, say the touring traffic has increased four fold over the past couple of years. Great for our outback! Some of these images are from the drive out from Katherine...as we drive through a corner of the Gregory National Park.Read more

    Final goodbyes

     August 6 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Said goodbye to Walter and Silvia, they were staying an extra night in Timber Creek, and we were heading to Halls Creek.
    Silvia gave me their card, and a fan from the gift shop! I gave her a hug.
    We dropped into lake Argyle, and it was stunning, but very crowded so we left again! I tried picking some fruit from the Kapok tree, but just couldn't reach!
    We stopped overnight about 50km outside Kununurra. Just bought some Diesel but no food. We had left NT, and left all our veggies in the old folks box in Timber Creek.
    We took a quick trip down to the creek to see if any Freshies were around. No joy, but we must have carried 20 mozzie back into the car. We were swatting them out of the car for hours!    Read more
