Fitzroy Crossing

On Saturday morning we travelled a second, equally corrugated road from Windjana Gorge to Fitzroy Crossing.   Home schooling continues in the car with Jack now confidently spelling 'Aboriginal', Jarrah knowing how many angles in a pentagon, Fletcher knowing the name of Aunty Chrissy's dog and Bruce knowing the name of Ron Weasley's little sister!  All correctly answered questions rewarded with a lolly from the bottomless lolly jar Mum keeps in the front seat!

An unexpected water crossing for the car and caravan added a little excitement to the journey!



Our arrival at Fitzroy River Lodge was tainted somewhat by the staff directing us to chain up all of our belongings ("don't just use rope as thieves will burn through it").  However, the place is green and shady and the boys have spent many hours in the swimming pool with many new mates.

We took the Geike Gorge boat tour and it was a great way to see this particular gorge.  The tour guide was informative and funny and the colours of the rock at sunset were nothing short of spectacular.



 

Tomorrow we're off to Wolfe Creek.  Just in case, I bid you a fond farewell, and would like to thank you sincerely for following my blog!
