Mary Pool - Free Camp

Our next stop was Mary Pool which is a Free Camp before Fitzroy Crossing.    By 5pm there were over 100 vans and camper trailers set up for the night.   Tony & I arrived early & found a camp site for 2 vans as we were meeting up Ozzie & Maria (friends from Black Point).     We decided on a "family meeting" before our Happy Hour to make sure we were all on the same page for our trip!  

The guys decided they would try for yabbies and maybe a bit of fish for tea, so Maria & I packed a picnic lunch to have while we were waiting for the big catch.    Lucky Maria had some Silver Cobler out for dinner just incase!     When we arrived back at camp we were told there was a crocodile over the side of the river we were fishing on!!

Tony & I looking a little too relaxed at our camp at Mary Pool.    Here we are watching Sunrise on TV in the morning (with the Gennie going), around a smokey fire in my dressing gown & Tony hasn't walked to the rubbish bin in days & of course, no shower for some time!!!!   I think it is time to move on..

Seriously though, these people looked like they were living there.... no showers, just a long drop toilet!

Maria has also gone a little native....


Even with a few wines she still couldn't play a tune!!

After listening to Maria's Didjeridoo playing we decided we would see if the music we could hear playing in the distance was any better, to find there were about 70 people sitting around listening to someone play the guitar, singing & also a little comedy.   We had met the singer, Ray, & Helen back in Kununarra on the flight over the Bungles!


Next stop is Fitzroy Crossing
