Left Lorella then tackled the 150k or so of rough dirt road with alot of patches of bulldust and sand before reaching Cape Crawford to fuel up and head off to the Stuart Highway.
The Carpentaria Highway is a narrow one lane bitumen road called a highway with small sections that were new works with two lanes. The odd floodway that had suffered from the last flood but were being attempted to be repaired, the rest you battled on with the oncoming traffic, road trains.
Arrived at the hi way Inn on the stuart to find it almost booked out with caravans. Managed to find a spot for the night and then left early in the morning to call in to the Daley Waters Pub for breakfast as it was booked out last night for camping. Had a lovely breaky and a look around before heading to Mataranka and finding camp at Bitter Springs, what a great campsite, it was massive with palms surrounding us we even had little wallabys calling in.
went down to the thermal springs for a swim , was so relaxing floating down the river.
Next it was off to Katherine.
