From Borroloola to the Queensland border, the road was generally quite good. Jade green river crossings lined with pandanus trees and a few billabongs were the only scenic feature other than burnt country.
Fishing at Borroloola.
Stopped for a cuppa & a swim at a river crossing, always keeping an eye out for crocs.
We camped off the road about 40klms from the Qld border, left early the next day and saw lots of wildlife. As we slowly drove past a fresh dead kangaroo, we noticed something moving in the pouch and stopped to look. We found this,
a gorgeous baby kangaroo. Kirsty & Jade were ecstatic. “This is the best day ever”, they kept repeating! We put him in a fluffy bag we had and headed to the border.
It was sad to cross the border, goodbye to the burnt state of The Northern Territory. The road started to improve immediately. Parted company with Rob & Laurel as we headed south to Lawn Hill & they kept going onto Burketown. We are meeting up at Gregorys Crossing in 3 days. Driving from 7.30am, we arrived at our camp, Adels Grove at 4pm and it was 40 degrees. We found out what to feed little Joe & fed him with a babies bottle Jade had. He kept us up all night.
This was a creek crossing just before Adels Grove, which was really pretty.
The van inside, is covered with a film of red dust, on curtains, in cupboards, on clothes, just everywhere!
