Camooweal


A nice place. one out of the blue, so to speak. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there and we'll be back. The sad thing is that Liz, from Drovers Camp, is giving it away at the end of this year. I have noticed on Grey Nomads site that they are looking for volunteers to take up the reigns, so to speak. A great story there and a load of memorabilia including current portraits of some of the REAL drovers who still took cattle down...Out of there this morning and on our way to Barkly Homestead. An oasis in the middle of the desert. Full telstra coverage and the sound of the generator can be heard humming in the background. Fuel here is 1.99 per litre and they justify that by saying the generator runs 24 hours a day and uses 500 ltrs per day.Welcome to the Northern Territory, Bruce and Marg......
