May 10 - 20 (Day 369-378) - Derby to Kununurra via the Gibb River Road

 

660km drive along the Gibb River Road

Monday May 10 - Tuesday May 11 - Mount Hart Station

EDIT: We have a video we hope to have of a lot more content of the Gibb River Road. When we have it finished we'll update this post but for now the priority is getting the content updated!

We set off from our overnight stop on the side of the Gibb River Road. This section of the road is all bitumen so it wasn't anything unusual.

Our rest stop for the night

Fixing the back of the toolbox

About 20km along the dirt road appeared ahead of us, so we pulled over just to check everything was nice and tight. The rear toolbox was slightly loose, but in the process of tightening it up I managed to break one of the bracket bolts holding it on. This led to 30 minutes with drill and angle grinder to set things right!

Mother's Day!  The kids made some cards for Mim. We also presented her with a necklace we'd sneakily bought at the Broome markets last Sunday while she was buying her hat! Hee hee! :)

Happy Mother's Day Mim!

Saturday 1 May - Sherlock River to 80 Mile Beach

We enjoyed a lovely quick morning swim in the Sherlock River. As the water was quite murky we didn't want to hang around too long to see if there were any crocs. :)
