24th August Mitchell Falls – Home Valley



As the trailers were a bit slower going in we left early from camp so off we set at 6:50am.
The Simpson's and the Bleazard's had a flat battery.
We stopped half way again and the others caught us up and we let them go ahead.
We arrived at King Edward river at 9:00am for a swim, as we pulled into there our engine light came on again so Paul had to drain some fuel from the filter and it seem to be ok for a while. We left King Edward and on to the main track and the light came on again so they drained the fuel again and that seem to fix it.
We all stopped in at Drysdale at 11:15am to fuel up and water and we were out of there in 1/2hr.
Lunch was at the turn off to the Gibb River Rd.






At 1:15pm we stopped in at Elembrae Station for scones and jam and they were delicious.
The scenery was great coming into Home Valley and the caravan park was amazing.
Some of us stayed up in the park and the other went down to the river to camp where the salt water croc's were.
No shackle awarded tonight.
