Casual Day by the Riverside at Mary River
Annie up early today and May from next door gave us a knock at 7.30 to remind us to “store” stuff away because early leavers are sometimes NOT to be trusted Methinks he must have had a bad experience !!All equipment intact tho & NO problems Max & his lovely wife Val departed around 9 am Gave us lots of useful information 0n what to do & where to go for cheap overnights. We moved the Bus next to the very scenic river bed & almost immediately a large white Cockatoo started following Annie. She went to bus for bread and the Parrot followed just like a pet dog !! Our new next door neighbour hail originally from Germany & she is travelling in her 1600cc motor with her dog !! Its nice n HOT now with a lovely river breeze cooling us off, Lazy day by the river today Annie went down to he river to fetch a pail of water (seems Ive heard that somewhere before?) and was confronted by a crocodile !! Fortunately the croc is OK !! nothing day but things still happen Tomorrow we head to Halls Creek
Mary River ‘twixt Fitzroy Crossing & Halls Creek
Annie drove from FC and we stopped overnight at Mary River (a freebie) The site is very picturesque and a very friendly nomad of 10yrsgave us a complete camping site list from here to Adelaide We were sat out in the sun when a HUGE bull came & chomped the grass beside us !! he was followed eventually by a few more & they simply passed by without a care !!We are parked up by a large river (almost dried up waiting for the heavy rains around November) Their are a few minor problems with the Bus Hopefully will be resolved in Darwin (under warranty) The satellite is playing up and we are resorting to our Bali DVD collection !!! SO? Tonight I will ava few Bicardi n Cokes and all will then be OK (Im surprised Annie hasn’t slashed her wrists yet putting up with me for so long !! after 5 weeks on the road) Bloke next door (Max) kindly hooked up his Satellite dish tested ours. It seems we have a “dud” set box !! will have to wait till we get to Katherine to utilize the warranty !! All in all not a bad day !!! At least the stars put on great show
