Daly Waters

Almost a week without TV, Phone and Internet connection. Not that we really missed it, actually: Not at all.
After we left Soudan rest area, we stayed at 41 Mile Bore in the bush, and turned north at Three Ways roadhouse. Banka Banka station is 70 km north from there. We arrived just after midday and immediately knew this was the place to be. Clean and grassy and calf's, goats, and turkeys walking around between the camp spots. Friendly staff, a little camp bar with reasonable pricing, a slide show in the evening telling the history of Banka Banka ( a cattle station). Excellent ! We stayed 4 days and really relaxed and enjoyed. Yesterday we finally left and travelled further north towards Newcastle Waters rest area. Again an evening of free camping at the side of the road.
This morning we left and arrived at Daly Waters around 1 pm. That's where we are and that's where we will enjoy one or two days around the Daly Waters Pub.
You all should write this spot down on your travel-wish-list ! I added more pictures of last week in the photo books (new one for June). Tonight we will have a nice meal and a drink in the pub.
Looking forward to a great evening with life entertainment of "the chookman" (Chook=chicken).

Hee pa en pam,

Jan en Pam, ik heb jullie dagboek weer eens goed bekeken.
Wat hebben jullie het toch slecht.
Ik heb echt medelijden met jullie. Werken is toch veel leuker? En je af laten beulen door je baas?
Ben net terug uit Italie, was super bij Gina.
Groetjes, Fred en see ya in august
