A pretty cruisey day today with a 400 kilometre drive to Fitzroy Crossing from Broome. The weather was perfect – not too hot and not too cold and a slight breeze.
Apart from the road, there were a lot more cattle, road trains and boab trees of all sizes. Another thing there were a lot of was termite mounds. These ones are different than those in the Northern Territory as they resemble Jabba the Hutt rather than the tall spear like shape.
Single laned bridges started making appearances today and being big has its advantages with cars tending to wait for me to come through.
We stopped for lunch at Willare Roadhouse which has now taken the mantle for the most expensive fuel so far at $1.89 a litre for diesel. The price dropped 50 cents to $1.39 at Fitzroy Crossing.
Today was one of those rare days where we arrived in daylight and it was good to see the Fitzroy River Lodge caravan park in daylight. It is an impressive place with the amenities up on a hill with the sites all radiating out from it. The sites are also grass.
It was a bit overcast for the sunset and a few drops of rain starting dropping. A quick look at the radar and it appears we have driven into another tropical cloud stream. How much water drops this time, we will have to wait and see.
