Day 17

Left Croydon at 8:30 heading west to Normanton to stock up on supplies and fuel, went to the bakery for morning tea, coffee and custard tart which was very good so we got a couple of pasties to go for lunch. Out of Normanton and west towards Burketown wasn't long before the black top ran out and we are on the dirt, about 120kms of dust and pretty good Road with lots of dips crossed over the little Banone, the Banone and the Flinders Rivers before we got to the Leichhardt River and falls, decided to stop here for the night as it is such a great spot to camp along the river. We went down the track to the falls and found a camp spot over looking the river and the falls absolutely magic, WikiCamps said it was extreme 4wd down the falls track but we pulled the van in easy, very interesting place with some weird rock formations from water flow. Spotted a fresh water crocodile basking in the sun on a rock in the river, a few other caravans here but vey peaceful, happy hour overlooking the river just another piece of an amazing Australian natural wonder well worth the time to get here 🥃😊👍Läs mer
