Day 3

Last night we bush camped at the turn off of Julia ck and Cloncurry in a gravel pit. Was nice and quiet. Our shower was only producing cold water so I had a shower in the Herberts van - bloody beautiful!  We woke up and started in the road to our next destination of Adels Grove. We stopped in Mcinlay at the Walkabout ck hotel, ran into Helen Houlder and her husband Robert. The boys had a beer and Sue-Ellen and I had a coffee. We were disappointed that Hoges truck was not out the front (from the Crocodile Dundee movie) apparently it's being repaired as it had become a public liability issue. 
We then drove onto Mt Isa and got some supplies and left later than we would of liked. 
I tried to ring Adels from 3pm to let them know we were running behind. I rang about 8 times and no answer and message bank is full!!! WTH? WikiCamps reviews are not looking good for Adels. Looking like it has been run down terribly in last few years. Apparently there is a $70 bond on boom gate and it's locked after 6pm   I even sent them an email. No reply. So Sue-Ellen and I got onto WikiCamps and found a free camp called Matt's rest. Herbert's had lighting issues and Davo the legend fixed it. He FINALLY got the toilet going for Sue-Ellen. 
Have a fire, good feed (Morocon Chicken)  and great company. We are about 2 hrs from Adels and will get there tomorrow.

Just left the beautiful Adels grove, where co-indecently we had a drink with Pete Frith and Roger and Di Lyne. Jan was cooking their tea. Drove on the Savannah Way to Doomagee and did a drive through and we are now on our way to Hells Gate. Meaghans birthday today and she's ordered pizza , yogis syrup dumplings with cream n custard! Not bad for a bush camp feed. I've bought a packet choc cake and directions say mix on low for 3 mins then on high. I figure, I'll be low speed and Jodie can be high speed!!!!!! Hahaha.

Today the we split from the group and head into Darwin a day earlier than everyone. Catch up with my brother and his family. The camp we are in now is gorgeous. Green grass! Brad is in heaven. We all are. Red dirt is overrated we've decided. I took this photo from bed. What a view!
