Kimberley trip 2015 - Ponto Falls to home

We crossed into NSW and watched the landscape get greener and more colourful. We stopped fort lunch at Nyngen under the helicopter and then pushed on to our destination.

We made it to Ponto Falls! And what a gorgeous spot it was. We were right on the banks of the river listening to the cockatoo screeches to signal the end of the day and then again in the morning for our wake up call.

We made spaghetti Bolognese for our last night camping and drank red wine and port next to the campfire where we burnt all of the wood we had been carrying.

It was beautiful to wake up to the Sinn breaking through the morning mist and being able to slowly get up and have a leisurely pack up after a nice cooked breakfast.

On the home stretch now. Should be home by mid afternoon.

Perfect way to end a fabulous trip.

Kimberley trip 2015 - Oberon to Ponto Falls

Leaving from Oberon today! I was hoping for an early start but kind of knew that it wouldn't happen but I have catered for the later start. It's been a bit of stressful week leading up to today. Well Gaz has been then stress head - he always does this though so I'm used to it now.

We spent all day yesterday doing last minute repairs and packing the camper trailer. Gaz has cleaned the water tank and put on new hoses. We went into Bathurst to pick up the land cruiser, it has a brand new radiator and has now had the engine flushed out. We have brand new thick wool seat covers and a new cb radio.

I popped in to Dan Murphy's to get last minute supplies. A couple our cases of wine and a case of beer. Beer price is $43 at the moment. As usual expecting out to go up the further north we head.

I have downloaded the new fuel app through wiki camps so will input fuel prices as we go and check out fuel economy.

So all that's left to do today is to load up the land cruiser. The fridge freezers will be plugged in to the camper trailer and the back of the land cruiser and we will be out of here!

Destination Ponto Falls.
