Day 159 Wednesday 17th July 2013; Location - Miners Pool Campground, Drysdale River Station

I think that someone turned off the heater last night, it was a rather cool night.

We packed up camp and headed down to the Miners Pool so that Rena could have a swim.

James has got the headache that I have had for the past couple of days. I think we are both adjusting to the heat, Kimberley dust and the corrugations.

We headed back to Drysdale River Station to see if we could buy some duct tape to fix the thermal blanket, but no go. Also needed a can of tyre repair to fix the air bag but they didnt have any of that either. They had lots of counter grog or food but not much else. Very limited on what they sold here. Could buy a beer and burger but not much else.

We headed north towards the King Edward River, just up the road a little past a water crossing we spotted a Brolga, so James quickly stopped the car and reversed back so that I could get some photos.

Well the road was rough except for where the grader was currently working. A nice short stretch of road.

We turned off and headed down the Mitchell Falls Road, and just after the King Edward River crossing we took the road to the left and headed to the aboriginal art site. WOW there was some really good examples of aboriginal art here. The art in the Kimberley is suppose to be the oldest art work found in Australia.


I feel so privileged to be able to see it in person and not in some book. All I need to do now is find out what it all means. Hopefully it will still be here for Rena when she is older. Hopefully with it being made more available to the public it will be respected and not vandalized so that it is there for our future generations.

Back on the road and on to the campground. WOW hasnt this place changed since we were here last. They have really done alot of work here. It is now a really good campground with lots of space.

We set up camp, had lunch and after a bit of a relax headed on down to the river and had a swim. Very refreshing, and very relaxing.

We had dinner before sunset and headed inside. I spent the night downloading photos off 2 cameras, well by the time I had done this it was late and Rena had happily watched 2 DVD's so time to go to sleep.
