On the road again

Day 29: Somewhere South of Kunanurra

We hit the road again - not locked into any particular destination, but we needed to log a few k's to stay on track with our time schedule.


So, a leisurely drive ensued...

Random first stop - Minnie Bridge!!  There was no real reason for choosing this particular location except that Nick needed a pee, and felt like a fish!  So, we jumped out of the car and headed to the river bed.


 There were plenty of cat fish, but no barra.  There was some other wildlife that we hadn't banked on too...
 
 No. 1: Brahman Bull.  We didn't see him straight away, only noticed him after the first 10 minutes.  He was about 50meters away and was very interested in us.  Luckily, he decided that we weren't worth bothering and he soon left us alone - we were left feeling slightly uneasy though!

 No. 2: Croc.  Well, we can't be absolutely certain - as you can see we don't have the photo evidence to prove it - but, there was a massive splash on the other side of the river and subsequent ripples coming to our side ... time to pack up and leave!
  
We hit the road again after Minnie Bridge and headed on in the direction of Kunanurra.  The boab trees were a definite highlight.



 Not sure exactly where this is, but there was some pretty cool scenery on the way.


We fueled up in Halls Creek, and stopped in a few other towns.  Eventually we set up camp in a free camp just south of Kunanurra.  A good day!

The Wrap Up:
Glad we had: Baby wipes
Wish we had: A shower!!
