Fitzroy Crossing ...and the cleaning begins

After our off the beaten track adventures, we needed to clean everything.  6 loads of washing later, we washed the car, the caravan, the pod, the flooring, the chairs and even the BBQ. Will was having to wear some of his sisters clothes so we certainly needed to do some washing.

Fitzroy Crossing was an eye opener as there was only a supermarket, a hardware store (which now has Tri-Fixx catalogues) a chicken shop and a Centrelink office....and hence a lot of aboriginals.  The Supermarket was like Fort Knox with bars on the windows and a huge jail like gate with barbed wire everywhere to lock up after hours....

The pub at the Fitzroy River Lodge had some interesting rules...that we tried to adhere to, but we all know what Mel is like after a couple of drinks and we were lucky not to get banned.

We did a day trip out to Geike Gorge and did the boat trip down the Fitzroy River which was very picturesque although once you have seen the big salt water crocodiles, the freshies don't excite you that much.  Very interesting to see the high water lines from the wet season and to hear about the volume of water that flows through the Fitzroy River.

We decided not to travel onto Tunnel Creek or Winjana Gorge as we didn't have another long dirt road in us, and we have decided that we are gorged out and unless the gorges come to us, we are not going to work to hard to find them (I know, we have been spoilt!).  We are looking forward to getting to the beach and with one small side trip to Derby, we will be in Broome in a couple of days!!!
