Nearly Home, our last night at Billy’s Farm in Lowden, Donnybrook

Our 1/2 lap of Oz is just about over, we’ve arrived at Dave & Jo’s place at Donnybrook and tomorrow we will be home. Driven around 10,500 klms at an average of 23LPH, the dearest diesel we encountered was $2.65 per litre at Willare WA. The weather ranged from HOT to FREEZING COLD & head wind and dust like you wouldn’t believe. But overall it was a fun trip and a good shake down for the new van. Though it didn’t travel on the rough corrugated roads our previous van had done, some of the blacktop roads would rate as being almost as bad. We’re pleased that very little requires attention and overall it’s proven to be very comfortable and we’re enjoying the luxury having the lithium batteries & inverter system.

Kununurra- 16/08/22

Catch up time on the last few days. Catching up with John, my Brother from another Mother was great, we only had the night but from what I remember it was fun. 🤪 

We are currently at Tumbling Waters van park and using it as a base to visit Litchfield National Park & Darwin. The 1st day we spent relaxing and using the parks swimming pools, the 2nd day we drove into Litchfield and visited a few ‘must see places’ the 3rd was a drive into Darwin and today another visit to Litchfield. We have walked the trails and swam or soaked in all the beautiful waters. I’ll chuck up some photos and try and remember where I took them.

Willare - 5th August 2022

A few more photos. We stayed at Willare Roadhouse with power and water for the night ($38) and enjoyed a very cold swimming pool which was awesome as the day time temperature was heating up, we also had a great meal of Mexican food (all you can eat) ($25pp) 

Our next two nights we stayed at Ellendale Lake, a great free camp 120k North of Willare. We saw plenty of water birds and smaller species and also had the company of a very friendly cow. Dave and I fitted the clothes line to our awning, Thanks Scott’s! 

Great sunsets and our evening meals were cooked on the Kimble Pot. 

We left the lake this morning and stopped at another great camp place Ngunbam Cliff for morning tea and now stopped for the night at Mary Pool.
