We are camped at the Fitzroy Crossing Lodge for 2 nights which is quite luxurious park. Huge sites and very shady. After setting up camp we drove to Gieki Gorge and took a boat cruise down the gorge & saw some spectacular views....the boat was quite long we were on with 107 people on board, including the 2 men below!! They seem to keep following us around!
After our cruise it was time for a drink at the local 'bar with bars' at the Fitzroy Crossing Pub!!!
The guys had a mid strength beer & I had to have a cruiser drink as they can't serve full strength beer or wine until after 5pm... We didn't stay long..... was very smelly, outnumbered & we weren't sure if our fishing rod would still be on the roof racks when we got back to the car!
Just an update on Maria.... she has definitely turned native..... this afternoon (with only her reading glaasses on) mistook a tall, dark aboriginal man for Ozzie. He was walking past our camp & Maria said "I have some exciting news Ozzie!" and then she realised he was aboriginal and said "I'm sorry I thought you were my husband!!!" Well the aboriginal could see the funny side and so did we (well....all but Ozzie). We nearly wet ourselves laughing..... He has 5 children & is camping not far from us... the jokes are still going on!!!!
On to Derby tomorrow for our nexr adventure!
