Mount Elizabeth Station

We drove from the falls campsite to Mt Elizabeth Station today, 340klms of the toughest corrugated roads we have seen so far and it took us 7 hrs. We are a little cranky and tired tonight but I wanted to come here because they say you can self drive to their private gorges and swim, so I wanted to be in on that. No powered sites, only one shower and no washing facility for Nat, so she wasn’t overly happy but we have the genny pumping and charging everything up. She is all good now after hand washing everything….. We haven’t seen power for a few days now so when we get down the road it will be nice to wash the dirt off. We are fast running out of food and the boys are getting a bit edgy, so that means Mum is too, they eat a crap load of food between them so it is hard to keep up and make them understand there isn’t a pantry like home. We can refuel and food up in Imintgi in a few days as there is a store there apparently - and we will find ourselves about half way. Nat is definitely over the red dust and corrugations!!!

The drive tomorrow is 10klms in and takes 1.5-2hrs, very rocky and steep in parts. Just what I want (not so much Nat!!) and why we came here. The boys love it when the monster truck (Prado) gets on a bit of a lean and goes through the water. I don’t know who smiles more, me or them……will let you know how it goes.

Jase………….
