Drove along Gibb River Road - wasn’t as bumpy as everyone had told us. Arrived at King Edward River Camp late. In the morning tried to catch some fish with a bucket. Had a swim, and then went kayaking down the river. Didn’t go past a spot where the rocks made it very shallow. Came back, had lunch and went down the river again as far as we could go. Next day packed up in the wind. Drove up to Mitchell Falls. Broke a shock on the camper on the way. Stayed there a night. Had to bush walk into Mitchell Falls, including climbing over 6ft high rocks. The Falls were nice. Had a swim above the falls, and then walked back. Drove back to Kalumburu Road and did another shock on the camper. Thought the ... read more

We left Darwin on Saturday to go to Litchfield National Park. We camped at Buley Rockhole. It was nice down at the Rockhole. We went under the waterfall. There were about 12 rockholes that you could go in. Saw a snake about 1m long on the bank at the rockholes as we were leaving. Just looked at Florence Falls, but got to swim at Wangi Falls. There was a warm pool in the side of the rocks, next to the waterfall. It was like a bath. Headed down the 4WD track and crossed 3 creeks on the way to Surprise Creek Falls. It was deep in the plunge pool. There were some guys jumping in from the top, which was about 8m above the water. Would you do that? Headed off to Katherine to get some ... read more

Had a quick look around Alice Springs while window got replaced. Headed off to East Macdonell Ranges. We had a look at Emily & Jessie Gaps and set up at Trephina Gorge.

Left to go to Rainbow Valley, got some firewood on the way. Got there, set up, and then saw the sunset. Lit the fire then cooked tea then went to bed. ... read more

Looked at Brachina & Bunyeroo Gorges on the way out of Flinders Ranges. Looked at Leigh Creek the town that was moved 6km South of Copley from its original place of 6km North of Copley. The houses all looked the same. Went up the Oodnadatta Track. It was bumpy and there was nothing for miles. Stayed at Coward Springs for the night. It used to be a station on the Old Ghan Rail line. There were hot springs and the Station Master and Train Driver’s houses still standing that we looked at. Went through William Creek took a photo of the Golf Club - all dirt and sand. Not much else around, except a pub and caravan park. Arrived at Coober Pedy and went to the Old Timers Mine. Did a tour and saw how they ... read more
