Day 38 - El Questro

Kate: We have had to reassess the next week of our trip.  The Gibb River Road is closed just past El Questro so we won't make it to our next Station that we'd booked.  Feel sorry for all these properties who rely on tourism.  We just can't get through to them.  So Plan B is to drive back out to the Northern Highway, follow it to the other end of the Gibb River Road and go in as far as possible from there.  Have had to reschedule, cancel and try and work out where to stay.  Options are limited and obviously everyone else is in the same boat.  The good news is that we won't have to leave the van in Kununurra as originally planned.  We will take it with us, leave it at the other end of the Gibb River Rd and then keep going from there.  Steve won't have to drive back all the way to pick it up as planned.  I was a but worried about that.

A relaxing day at El Questro - visiting a hot springs.  I lay there for over an hour with the warm water just flowing past me......

Jasper: At Zebeedy Springs it was Awesome. We played in the warm springs and caught little frogs. Then I climbed up a almost vertical rock face that was huge (40 metres up I reckon). It was the one of my highlights.

  2. Keep the pictures coming.
    The blog is not only fantastic for those you left behind, but will be a great reminder to you all long after you are back in the real world.
    Speaking to Steve the other night he had a tone of simple pleasure in his voice that I have not heard for many years.
    Continue to enjoy - wish I was there.
