Barkley Homestead to Lorella Springs

Packed up camp and headed towards Cape Crawford. The roads are one lane bitumen with dirt each side just enough to pull off to work pass. Cape Crawford is just a roadhouse/hotel . Fuel was $1.79p/l
From Cape Crawford the road was dirt, very rocky with patches of bull dust and sand. Then the road to Lorella was corrugated with creek crossings some wet some dry.
 Arrived in the afternoon and set up camp then went back to the bar for happyhour there was quite a few people here and they were expecting an off road tour bus to arrive. there has been some changes since we were here last, making improvements around the bar area and have a fish pond in which they have 3 baby fresh water crocodiles, had 4 but one escaped down in the creek.

 We arganised our day trips in the morning then we set of for the day exploring the many creeks, rivers, gorges, pools and caves that Lorella has to offer, there is even boats tied up on the banks of the river for anyone to use. we really enjoyed our stay.
