Day 3 - The Great Northern Highway

So by now you’ll be getting an idea of how long the trip is from the East Kimberly’s to the West Kimberly’s.
Next stop Willare Bridge Roadhouse 357km.
This time it was a stop at Fitzroy Crossing for fuel and water. The place is as expected, fuel station boarded up, litter, graffiti everywhere. Free water can be accessed just before the Fitzroy Crossing.
Back in Dec 22 the bridge collapsed due to the floods
Fitzroy River below reached a record-high peak of 15.81m. Now reopened 6 months ahead of schedule you can still see major improvements/ works continuing.
We reached Willare Roadhouse and the temperature had hit 42degrees, the pool was an absolute blessing and the air conditioning was a must for Billy! Few drinks in the pool and a nice meal in the air conditioned roadhouse.
While eating we witnessed the locals coming and going and trying help themselves to the items in the shop , the young guy running the front that evening told us that they had the police there for three months and because they had that many people report the locals for stealing the police pulled out! Work that out!?もっと詳しく
