Early start leaving Halls Creek at 6.30am on our way towards Katherine.
It was an interesting drive along the way there were lots of wildlife as as we
went on further there were brumbys, dingos, and a couple of frogs.
Got to Doon Doon Roadhouse WA to fill
up and good old Boris (the Kombi) wouldn’t start, lucky we had the thumper (backup battery). Well off on
our way again and on entering
the NT the roads are narrow bumpy
with even large pot holes and the speed limit is 130kpm . 130kpm what a joke we
struggle to do 90kpm and you wouldn’t want to go that fast on these roads.
Driving through Gregory National Park the gorges were quite pretty the rocky walls were red and
some with some water falls with the spray drifting in the wind.
Needing petrol we stopped at Timber Creek finding it too be the dearest
petrol so far, $2.01per litre. As the light was fading we pondered on to the
next camp area arriving at the Victoria Crossing Roadhouse at about 5.30pm. Not
knowing what to expect I walked into the roadhouse to find a clean nice little
front bar with small dining area where we had dinner after we set up the
camper.

The camp area was like being chucked in a paddock with a pole for power
but it gave you a sense of being in the bush amongst the corellas and wallabies.
Whilst having dinner I looked out the window to see a medium sized
frog, so I asked a lady who informed me it was not a frog but a Cane Toad.
