Banka Banka Station

This cattle station had a great vibe from the start. The communal fire on both nights gave us a chance to chat with fellow travellers, enjoy a couple of drinks from the teeniest bar at 5-7pm and of course roast some crunchy marshmallows.

On Saturday, we walked to the nearby (once) waterfall which hardly met our hopes for a splash while Andy put on a roast for us and the other family. The four girls then performed at the fireplace (a bit of acro!) and I enjoyed a late chat with a wonderful couple from Darwin at the crackling fireplace.

Sunday was Mothers Day and we aimed to get to the infamous Daly Waters pub for lunch. Unfortunately they were only serving dinner that day 🙁. I enjoyed a special Bombay G&T, looked around the quirky relics and headed for Mataranka, 140km north.

An unimpressive stop at the Pink Panther Roadhouse, once a place to be, was a quick one - just for a photo opportunity.Leer más
