Room with a view

After our somewhat crashing arrival, the next morning Ron dug RT and Miss G out while I quickly learnt the ins and outs of what all the different 4wd things do and between us we dragged the ol' girl out and planted her on the bend of the river. What a great spot and we stayed there for the next five days. We overnighted up at Lawn Hill on the Wednesday and that was still as good as ever, although last year we were there in May and the difference 3 dry months make is quiet evident. Not as lush and the water level is a bit lower, but still heaven. You can see from the top pic that a lot of time was spent jumping in the river and riding the current for about a kilometer downstream and praying that there were only freshies in the stream LOL.

We arrived at Isa yesterday and promptly got thrown out of the first park we had a look at. I check out all the park reports online before we arrive at a new place and there was nothing really good about any of the Isa parks, so as we have done many times before we pull up in sight of the office (so they can see we have a van) and take a quick wander into the park to get an idea of what it's like. Well the management bailed us up wanting to know what we were doing, we informed them we were leaving (the place was a dump) and he promptly told us to "Get out, we don't want you here anyway" to which some Get ------ were thrown around and we sailed off to the Big 4 which is not much better. Will be very happy to put this place behind us.
