Hi Mick - Slowly getting to look at a few of your
blogs - great stuff, and so many interesting and out of the way
places. We were lucky that the NT side of the GCR had recently been graded when we came west in September. We were also told that the Docker
River camp had been trashed; we checked it out, and their was no
water so the
toilets and showers were useless. Shame as it is a nice looking spot. We'd made better than expected time with the good road conditions, so we went on and stayed at Warakurna RH ready for the
Giles weather station tour next morning. It was a
good camp site. Motherhen

Yep, I was there exactly a year later in 2007 and it was wrecked. Spoke to the administrator at Docker about it and he said he couldn't get the locals interested. I had to shovel out a fire pit just to get enough room for our fire that night. The locals had driven over all the septic tanks taking short cuts home and collapsed them all and the
bore was broken. Needless we didn't pay. A real shame. Clad you're enjoying the
blogs. Mick
