One of the spots we camp on our way to
Darwin is called Spring Creek, just a rest area along the highway, but as the
name suggests, with a little creek.
We enjoy the little water stream,
campfires, bush oven cooking, bread and dampers from the fire. Laura and Jolmer transform an empty oil drum
into a stove for the Cast Iron Pot and that makes cooking and boiling water a
breeze.
A lot of campers use this rest area as a base to explore the Bungle
Bungles for a day. We feel silly because we are certainly close and keen to go,
but we do not have a four-wheel drive, so we shall keep a rain check. In fact
this whole corner is a bit pointless to travel without one. Best to return one
day with full off road equipment and make a proper circle including the famous
Gibb River Road. So no need to stick around too long, we keep going towards Kununurra.
It is a pretty landscape to travel through. New vistas around every bend,
beautiful rock formations with intense blue skies as the perfect background. I
will never get used to how blue the sky can be Down Under.
