We're home :(
We've had the most fantastic holiday and it's hard to pick a highlight, but I'll try to list a few..
1.
Camping at Welford NP by the Barcoo - simply lovely.
2. The sunset at
Karumba Point - stunning
3. Kingfisher
Camp -
Bowthorn Station - was a great discovery, if you're in the area and looking for a great campspot - this is the place.
4. The drive from Kingfisher to Adels Grove - fantastic.
5.
The Gorge and
Lawn Hill NP - the most beautiful place I've seen. The canoeing was great fun, but the swim to the waterfall better.
6. The
Waterhole at Adels Grove - what fun we had, especially the kids in rubber tubes down the gentle rapids.
7.
Birdsville - Ruth and Big Red. It was great fun driving up Big Red - I did it 3 times and had a ball. Ruth you simply are the best, thanks so much for all you did for us, our desert bbq at big red was a brilliant.
9.
Innamincka - what a beautiful special place that is, two days was simply not long enough, we wanted to stay longer.
9. The people we met, especially the people at the
Toompine and Cameron's Corner Pubs who were fantstic with the kids, and Duncs at
Broken Hill, who took the time to show us around the BH firestation - the kids loved it...thanks Duncs!
10. Laughter and campfires - we had plenty of those, special thanks to Gavin who made me laugh with some of his photographic exploits - can't wait to see the pics, and our 3 youngest adventurers - James, Tegan and Callum who were great espcially given that some of the drives long and the hikes hot, you were joys and it was great to share so much with you.
and finally Glenn, thanks for the fantastic trip, his first tag-along tour, it simply was the best, it's sad it had to end, but there's always next time.
cheers
