Balgo and Beyond: Home Valley Station & Elquestro

We chose to take the cheaper camping sites on the river because we wanted privacy however it was pretty ordinary and not may big shaded trees. Daryl wanted to fish so it was a good spot for him but Crocodile infested so he had to be careful.
It was pretty hot and hard to get settled and pick a reasonable site with enough shade in the morning mainly...waking up in that rooftop tent (or any tent) in the sun isn't a great start to my day....
40 degrees today and little to no breeze.
There weren't a lot of people around I guess because the main part of the station was equipped with a restaurant and swimming pool...but that was ok UNTIL....a car load of young 20+ year olds rocked up and camped virtually right next to us. We thought the worst .....loud music ...drunken loud behaviour, but not so.
I got talking to a couple of them the next day when they were washing their dishes....they were a group that met working together at a Roadhouse ?? somewhere and thought to take off and camp the Gibb River. 3 lads and a girl - all from different countries. I thanked them for being respectful in the camp place - they said they usually are but they use the group to their advantage...crank up the music and get noisy to put people off camping near them...especially oldies....it was nice to know we weren't in that category.......yet!
First proper shower in 5 days...went all out and washed my hair..... No need to use hot water here....the cold water tap is tepid ...just beautiful ....

Oh and...no fish!
