Sat 23 Aug 2013 – Katherine then finding Big Horse Creek Campground

We headed off towards the W.A border and part 3 of our holiday, however we saw signs warning us that we'd have to surrender all our fruit & veg at the border so we realised we needed to stop for one more night before we crossed so we could finish up our supplies. We found a nice little camping area in Gregory National Park, on the Victoria River called the Big Horse Creek Campground – what a great find and not even on our maps!




This place has lots of boab trees and one of them has 4 trunks and a circumference of 12 metres. We watched a bird, some sort of honey eater, hang upside down to get a few drops of water off the tap- the river was only 100m away - so we thought he was pretty lazy!







We were early enough for Rodger to throw in a line and have another try for the elusive barramundi. 


Needless to say, he didn't get one but at least he didn't lose his new lure!  I kept a watchful eye on Rodger (at least the one that wasn’t on my book) in case a croc fancied him for dinner.




Rodger finished fishing and we watched another beautiful sunset over the river.




Big fruit salad for dinner to use up our fruit.
