lorella springs

You will not regret going into Lorella Springs as it is only 35ks. off the road on a good gravel track.It has a nice camp ground with good toilet block.There is a nice hot spring pool to relax in which is in the campground and a bush bar open in the evenings.Other spots to visit in that area are King Ash fishing camp and a tip here is to drive through the campsite and follow the track to the river where you can have free camping. The other fishing camp Limmen Bight is also good especially if you have a dinghy.Further on is a good free camp spot at St.Vidgeon ruins on a nice lagoon.If time allows make sure and go into Lawn Hill.There is also a well set up c/park at Roper bar right on the river---take nets for the cherrabin.There are many other spots but hope this helps.Iwill also be up that way in Aug.

Hi Claudie
Lorella is a nice place to camp, shower + toilets, you can catch redclaw there if you have operahouse pots. The track to the "rosie creek" is extreme!!!!!!!!!!!
We went in April, so you will not have the bogging problems we had. I was towing a 4.45 quintex hornet. So just the car would be a lot easier, that said without our difflocks and winch + ground anchor we would never had made it. 75km = 8.5 very hard hours!!!.
Was it worth it? YOU BET YA!!!
Most isolated place iv'e ever been. That said remember to take antibiotics and any other 1st aid gear you think you may need. Remember you can't get to the doctors in a few minutes or even a few hours.
Wayne & Pat were running the show last time i was there, very nice people!!!
Ret owns the place but lives in Darwin.
Would i go again? Yep next year on our round oz trip.
Enjoy!
any info i can give just ask.
Regards Lyndon & Bernadette

A couple of other things to look out for, Butter Fly springs on the Roper-Borroloola road, nice place to camp and swim. Stop at Nathan River ranger station for directions to "the lost city", don't miss. well worth a look.
Oh, 1 last thing B'looloola is a S'hole!!!! especially on pension day, very sad to see!
Have fun :)))
