The heat continues

We are currently in Fitzroy crossing temperature still 40 degrees so lets recap

from kununurra we went to El questro just down the gibb river road a lot of the way is being sealed but we took the van down through the pentacosta river into the station its not real deep
 A hot long walk to Emma gorge we finally get to the swimming hole above



No power here only the campsite with showers and toilets but boy do they charge more than a top of the range caravan park it was much to hot to do a lot






These two are on the way to zebeedee thermal springs but who wants warm water when its 40 nice scenery though

we set off down the gibb river road for a bit in the comfort of the air con in the cruiser leaving the van at el questro






 boy is home valley station nice the bar and restaurant below 
 home valley station swimming pool below Elquestro doesn.t have one
 Home valley gate
 below the ever flowing mighty Pentacost river just a dried up puddle
 very dry up here at the present
We leave El questro back to kunnunurra to stock up and straight back on the road when we arrive at Mary pool we find a young family with a camper wheel bearing shot they had a new one but had never changed one before although they were giving it there best shot I got out the tools and get dirty with a bit of help from me its not long before they are on there way

 Above and below are Giekie gorge on the river cruise fitzroy river

and more crocs
we will stay in fitzroy at the lodge for a day to swim in the pool run the air con in the van and generally cool down then its off to Derby We were going to spend some time at the bungle bungles but it was bungled by a bush fire in the national park even the caravan park was closed so we just push on smoke haze hangs in the air everwhere
