There aren’t many roads up in the far north of Western Australia so when one comes along, it is our duty to take it. Actually, we’d long planned to head north off Gibb River Road to Mitchel Falls. As we headed up this bumpy, corrugated bit of red dirt we made a decision to stop at Dysdale Roadhouse, set up camp, spend the night and head south again. Mitchell Falls would just have to wait for another day…or maybe never at all!
Another early start to the day and back to Gibb River Road heading west…until another dirt road with a sign for an outback camp, Mt Hart. Off we go on another bumpy, corrugated dirt road this time with dry river beds with rather large river rocks worn smotth by the floods during the wet season.. We might have turned around had it not been for the fun of crossing the wet rivers and there were plenty of them on the 50k track up to Mt Hart Wilderness Lodgte. Here we camperd by the river again but this time there were only friendly crocs, you know those freshwater ones that only nip at you but don’t eat you! The campground was adequate with a swimming area in that croc (friendly though0 infested river! The stars were beautiful and once again we were up and on the road by 6:30 the next morning. Places to go and things to see!
