We had a leisurly start to the day and breakfast before packing up camp and hitting the Gibb River Road again for the short drive (well compared to the others) and headed to Mt Elizabeth Station, 30 klms off the GRR.
We booked in for 2 nights and paid our dues. The reception are is really nice, it has a table with magazines and photos of the station. I think this is also where you come and have dinner if you are eating your meals at the homestead.
Rena got to pat a baby wallaby that they were hand raising.
We picked our spot and set up camp in a nice shady spot.
After we set up we had a cuppa and lunch, I then started to make some break and tried out a new recipe for fruit cake. I got the bread ready for the camp oven later on, whilst James got the fire ready to light later.
Rena was really happy as she had most of her toys out and was happily playing with them
After making the bread I headed off to have a shower before the evening rush hour, well I didnt quite make it in time and had to wait to use the shower. But it was worth the wait, nice hot shower. The facilities here were a bit old but they were very clean and functioned quite well.
Back to camp and I put the break and then the cake on in the camp oven. Fruit cake was a bit hot on the bottom so was a bit crispy (black) but the bread turned out really well.
We had steak on the bbq plate, and baked potatoes thanks to the camp oven for dinner.
It has chilled down alot tonight so we are off to bed to try and get warm. Tomorrow to do the 2 4wd tracks here.
