Interesting few days after leaving Derby on Sunday. From Derby we travelled to Fitzroy Crossing, staying at the Fitzroy River Lodge on the Monday night and then onwards thru Halls Creek to the Caravan Park at Mabel Downs Station at the Bungle Bungles.

It’s certainly been an eye opener for us, with Derby, Fitzroy Crossing and Halls Creek heavily populated with our indigenous folk. Both Susan and I are saddened at the conditions they live in. We were very surprised to see Renal hospitals set up in these towns, as I’ve said in an earlier post its a difficult situation. I expect it might be similar in the NT.

We planned to stay in Halls Creek but decided to move on to the caravan park at the Bungle Bungles and we’re glad we did. It was a great park and we only wised we could have stayed longer and we met some very nice people around the campfire. Off to Kununurra tomorrow for our last stop off in WA before we cross over to the NT on Sunday.
