We're Off - Heading to Darwin

Well we have hit the road again :)
We left Etty Bay at 11am on Thursday morning & headed up to the Savannah Way.
Beautiful scenery as went through Millaa Millaa:

& The Windfarm  at Ravenshoe:

There wasn't too much traffic & we seen a few vans heading the other way.
The road was more like a goat track in some spots, Lots of road works but as it was Anzac Day nobody was working :)

Lots of road like this!

We got to Georgetown & the Caravan Park was full so  we headed 20 kms up the road to a lovely free camp called Cumberland, ( 249 in Camps book) mind you it was raining when we pulled in so we didn't get to see how nice it was until the next morning.

Plenty Of space

A beautiful lake with lots of birdlife

The next morning we headed off towards Normanton.
We called into Croyden for a rest stop. It had the nicest Information Centre;

Very Quaint Toilet Block

Metal Sculptures

We got to Normanton about lunchtime & set up at the Caravan Park. We were supposed to meet up with some friends here, but unfortunately they got held up on their trip, we still may see them on the road :)

Normanton Tourist Caravan Park

We decided to Drive up to Karumba to see the Famous Sunset from the Sunset Tavern:

Beautiful Pelicans

This huge Bulk Carrier came in to load up Zinc & takes it out to the Mother ship.

Beautiful way to end the Day

Could only have 1 Bundy though cause it is 80kms drive back to Normanton :(

Today we went for a walk up the main street & said hello to Krys :

Pretty Impressive - Hey!

& of course the Purple Pub, might call in for a drink this arvo :)

It look more Purple than the photo!

Ok well thats all for now, tomorrow we head off towards Burketown,
Until next time,
Cheers & Happy Travels Shell
