Victoria River Roadhouse is a great stopover to catch up on washing, cleaning and resting (or so I thought). For those of you who have travelled & encountered "Laundry Protocol" in caravan parks you will appreciate that there are never enough washing machines in any parks, so when I discovered there was only 1 washing machine for the whole park which, because of the low water pressure, took 1 hour to complete a cycle, I was "not happy Jan" Lucky I was 2nd in line for the machine. It is like "peak hour" at the laundry in most parks to get a machine & have come to the conclusion that Happy Hour is probably the best time to wander over to the laundry but I am not prepared to give up my "wine" time. It is a great place to gather information from other travellers tho while you are waiting!
Victoria River Roadhouse is a very transient caravan park and most people only stay for 1 night...... Tony & decided on 2 nights just to have a rest from all our mountain goat tracks and bolders! By 10am the next morning we looked like we had parked in the middle of an open paddock until about 4pm the park was chockers again!
Tony & I met an interesting couple at the Bar who were from Scotland. They own a car and campervan in Australia and also do house swapping to get a break from the dust and dirt & have seen more of Australia than many of us. We are continually amazed at how much people from overseas love Australia and getting into its far away corners.
Next adventure is Lake Argyle!
