With only just enough petrol in the tank, we headed west towards Broome. We have had to calculate our kilometers exactly, as there is no more petrol until Derby. Unfortunately we also had to bypass Bell Gorge, which we had been looking forward to visiting...but we can't do it all on the petrol we have!
We did visit Galvin Gorge, a short walk off the road to a beautiful swimming hole -we found some rock art as well which I sometimes feel reluctant to photograph without knowing it's significance.
Today we drove to Mt Hart, about 50km off the Gibb Rd. Mt Hart is a former failed (several times over) cattle station. They must have been difficult days, working so hard up here in extreme weather and conditions...only to realize it was never going to work.
The station has been revived and is now a quiet and relaxing place to stay. It has only recently been opened to campers...so the campground was very quiet....great!
The boys loved swimming here in the deep cool river. There was even a canoe for us to use. We spent a few days relaxing here...even joining the other guests for a scrumptious 3 course dinner...there were at least 10 deserts to choose from, and the food was fantastic.
One of our favorite easy meals...pasta!
We enjoyed our time here, it's amazing what a small patch of green grass does for you, after so much dirt and dust.
Cazz and boys
