Just a few photos from Kylie. Also remembered we saw a little lizard going to Gavin’s gorge, he’d run a bit then wave, run a bit then keep waving. Pretty cute and had us in stitches.

Driving through Fitzroy Crossing, seeing the flood damaged crossing and the new bridge being built. The servo had everyone caged/boarded up. Even the fuel pumps where protected. Lots of rocks on the roof of the servo as well. Guess the town had a few issues with petty crime. Saying that, […]

Paid entry and got some fresh bread which was fortunate cause our bread was moldy. Tires down to 20psi. Drive through dunes. Enjoyed the quiet with […]
