We're back...........

in the country we love. Welcome to the road to Lawn Hill. This is a particularly good bit. As you can see it's nice and wide with plenty of room to miss the road trains, visibility is a bit of a problem thought LOL.

The week that was. We left Normanton on Sunday with the plan to stop over on our way to Gregory Downs. Our Camps 3 book mentions three possible overnighter freeparks but they were either woeful or had totally disappeared ?? so we pushed onto the Downs. A couple of weeks ago someone in a park mentioned the river at the Gregory Downs and suggested we try to get in there. It is a free park with no facilities but a good overnighter. Well after a long drive and 35+ temps we arrived in paradise. the river is without doubt the most magnificent place we have ever camped and FREE. We drove in and there was about a dozen vans along the banks of the crystal clear river and down the end was a spot just perfect for us. Right on the water at a bend in the river with wonderful views so off we went. We arrived with somewhat of a crunch as it was the loose rocks from the wet season all piled up on the bank. BOGGED

As time was getting on we decided to worry about it in the morning. We said hello to the neighbours to make sure we weren't in their way and they informed us that they were heading off the next day and we were welcome to their site (which was probably the best on the river). So there we camped. More pics and the story continues tomorrow ................................
