Friday, the drive from Bell Gorge to Windjana Gorge uneventful. Has lunch at a totally unexpected "Snack Stop" on the Lennard River. The man at the snack shack, was a character and showed us a big croc basking on the river bank, thru his telescope. He lived very simply there with his little shop and garden.
The Gibb Road was very good this stretch, with lots of sealed bits. Every one drives as fast as they can, we are glad of an uneventful day, no dramas.
The nights are very cold, Ben, down to 3, so we are sleeping in the thermals. Mornings are lovely, and arvos are HOT. We have an air con in the cabin and one in the camper which we do not need yet, which is just as well becasue we haven't seen a powered site for a week.(This note for Deb).
Very impressed with the little private clearing you get to camp in, in some places, usually with a fire place, and close to a river. We have had lovely nights with a fire and a carpet of stars above. The toilets are very impressive, perfectly clean, flushing toilets. Amazing.
Have seen correllas and lovely finches today, as well as a lot of crocs in Windjana Gorge.
A technological failure delayed updating the blog. Our inverter, converting 12vDC to 240vAC has mysteriously failed, and we can't charge the computer's battery without it. For other appliances (e.g. the RBGAN satellite modem, our portable TV) we have 12v chargers, but alas, not the computer. We will not be able to update our blog until we can recharge the PC at the next powered site. We don't like our chances of replacing this inverter in Broome.
