Bungle Bungle NP to Lake Argyle - Day 75, 22/06/2016

We were on the way out of the campground just before 7.30 and it took us just under 2 hours to drive back out to the highway. We had an uneventful drive back to Kununurra but 20kms out we got stuck behind an old fella towing a van that had no idea what he was doing and insisted on drive over bridges in the middle of the road taking up most of both lanes. It was amazing that he didn't kill someone and only had a few very near misses, I had a little chat to him at the servo in Kununurra and he was off with the fairies, hope he doesn't kill himself or someone else.

We had booked an unpowered site at Lake Argyle and we arrived mid afternoon and were shown to our site by the very helpful staff, its a very popular park and was almost full when we arrived. When I was backing into the site I noticed a very flash looking Lifestyle 2+2 Camper and immediately recognised the 100 series Landcruiser with "MYGOO"number plates. We somehow managed to snag a site right next door to JetCrew (Theo) from the Myswag forum, it was great catching up with Theo and Lara.

Later that afternoon we all went up to the pub and had a meal and a few drinks while we watched the mighty QUEENSLANDERS take out another series win in the State of Origin, it was a great night.

No photos from today as it was a transit day.

Distance Traveled = 363 km
Total distance traveled with camper = 31,758, km 
Total number of nights in the camper = 206

Cape York - Day 28, Calliope River to Glass House Mountains 13/07/2018

Last night was another cold night and climbing out of the swag was very hard, when we did emerge we were treated to a beautiful thick fog which burned off slowly as the sun rose. We weren’t in too much of a hurry today so we milled around camp waiting for the heavy dew on the roof top tent to dry off. Eventually we hit the road and made our way south on the Bruce Highway. Lunch stop fro today was Tiaro and from here it was a couple of hours drive and we were home. This trip was fantastic and we are so glad we had this opportunity. We love heading out west into the deserts and were surprised at how much we enjoyed this trip. The 4wd tracks through the Creb, OTT and Frenchman's tracks were brilliant and our little Triton emerged relatively unscathed with some new pin stripes, rattles, bucket fulls of dust and some paint off the side steps and bash plates. Nothing a good clean/polish and touch up won't fix. I'm so glad we took our time and prepared properly, we saw heaps o

Cape York - Day 27, O'Connell River to Calliope River 12/07/2018

Another transit today, on previous trips we had camped at the free camp on the Calliope River so this was our destination for the day. Anna was craving another proper coffee and wanted to show the girls where her family used to stay in Mackay, so we took a detour off the highway and had a coffee and morning tea at the Mackay Marina. The park Anna used to play in as a kid was still there... We stopped in at Claireview for lunch and Anna and I think we could retire here one day, a very beautiful little spot. We started to hit the road works today but otherwise we made good time and had an uneventful drive south. Late in the arvo we pulled off the highway into Calliope River, this place is very popular with camping on both sides of the river. The area is huge and we managed to find a nice pot looking down over the river. Distance travelled = 541km
