Travel day toward the Gibbs River. About 200kms, and staying just outside Derby, where we are gonna top up fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stopped to see the Boab Prison tree, which had quite a large cavity\/hollow in it which was used to keep prisoners in. Also some other history here around some aboriginal ‘rebel’ leader and the longest cattle trough which is fed by a bore and wind mill. During the second world war, a pool was made utilizing this bore water to keep troops cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
