Day 35 Tuesday 22nd May
We left F/Crossing at 6.50, onwards and upwards. We stopped at a great spot called NGUNBAM for brekkie. What magnificent views from the top of this escarpment, from here on the country side changes to hills and bush of dramatic colours!! Some , if you painted a picture with the colours you see, no one would believe you.
Stopped for fuel at Halls Creek , T&P stop. Now this place definitely needs a bull dozer through it!
Also needed to fuel up again at Turkey Creek now known as Warum? Only got LPG here but had a heart flutter at $1.20 a litre!!!!!!!!! Rick and Tracey pulled in here too so we had a bite of lunch together.
Left there and drove through some of the most amazing country in Australia. The sheer size and colours of some of these hills is breathtaking!! So much wild life on the road in this leg of the journey. We saw Brahman cattle, wild horses, eagles and to top that off, a Dingo trotted across the road. I pulled up to take a pic but he/she bolted. Probably had a gun or two pointed at him!!
We reached Kununurra at 3.15 booked in, then off for some grocery shopping.
Back to park happy hour tonight was huge lots of people( new friends) to have fun with. Of course all that laughter made us dry so … some liquid to oil us up!!!!!!!!
Booked a Barra fishing trip for tomorrow, should be fun,.
Fuel prices Halls Creek $1.50 ULP.. .90 cents LPG Turkey Creek ULP $1.60..,. Lpg $1.20... OUCH!!!!








G Day from cold Melb. Don't worry too much about the fuel. It has just hit 1.49 for ULP in Melb!!! Have tou tried the vehicle accross the Ord River in Kunanurra. There is a caueway on the edge of town with not too may crocs. Great to talk last week even if we are all jealous. Cheers Burt
