Tried to get some washing done quickly this morning before leaving Burke and Wills Roadhouse. I got mine finished but poor Kirsty only got hers to the Rinse stage when the power went out in the whole homestead. We were told it could be an hour or could be all day. A good old wringing out by hand, plopped in a bucket, and off we swished to Gregory.
Along the way saw four magnificent wedge tailed eagles feasting on roadkill. Extraordinary birds.
Other travellers had told us to stop at Murray’s in Gregory for really delicious muffins and coffee. Well, how could we resist?
And, they weren’t wrong. Scrumptious! Murray is also a bit of a wag and loves a chat.
A fill up with petrol at the Gregory Downs pub
then on to the Gregory River to camp for a few days. What a fabulous spot. Fast flowing river with plenty of water holes to swim in, lots of birds and a few other travellers. There are meant to be freshwater 🐊 in the river but everyone is swimming and we’ll be joining them tomorrow.
To top it off, the tree in front of us has two nests of Whistling kites. Fabulous!
