Our neighbours at Georgetown, friendly and have some good advice, the last thing they said to us there is a lot of kangaroos on the way we were headed. Yep we saw him on the rise, 1 paw rested on the guide post and 1 paw on his hip, lookin', thinkin' will I won't I, will I won't I? Well he did and he got splattered! Ding in the front left side bumper and left his mark on the way out the rear end. It was roo jerky by the end of the day and Darl reckons there weren't much left of him, bit of dive, grab and go for the crows and eagles, no chewin involved, they would've loved it! Bumper? Lucky for 100mph tape..
It seems the "Check Engine" thing is fixed, we drove over a free wash down bay at Mt Surprise couple days ago and the light hasn't come on since, what a nice surprise! Today we are headed for our 2nd free camp, at Bang Bang just north of Burke and Wills roadhouse. We decide to take a look at Normanton and top up the fuel. We had a little photo shoot with this croc, would you believe an accurate remake of the actual shot by a WOMAN back in the 50's. I'm struggling to believe but they say it is true and the locals say there is another out there now same size..
We have a couple cold ones at the Purple Pub with the friendly locals. Scored a free fourex sticker and a free Purple pub sticker, special! Off we set to Bang Bang, awesome spot in the bush on the side of the road, but quite a big area and several travellers pull up there for the night. Beautiful starry night, haven't seen any shooting stars yet. We like these camps with plenty of room, not on top of each other. Quiet spot really and not much traffic noise at all during the night.
Just for something different here is a sunrise at Bang Bang camp spot.
