Robinson River - into the NT

Wed (31/7) once again up and away early. We drove east to the main road (Savanah Way) and Hells Gate Roadhouse. We stopped for fuel, bought a couple of sangers for lunch and filled up the water tank. Then across the border into the NT.

Note Mike's mask, the dust on the van and the taping on the door. Yes another dusty, corrugated day. Actually the road was okay with some nice, smooth, even bits interspersed with the less tasteful bits.

We found a nice spot for lunch by a river. Karyn was a bit reluctant due to the big sign on the road warning about crocs. But we found a nice shady spot high enough to give us a fighting chance of winning the race.

After Hells Gate there is nothing for 315km until Borroloola. We drove a total of about 300km in about 7.5 hours. Once again we saw only a handful of cars all day.

We stopped for the night at Robinson River which is about 110km east of Borroloola. We are down a track on the east side in a beautiful spot just above the river. Mike set up the shower so we had a lovely cool shower with river water to remove the dust.
