The military convoy left Kununurra before us, but we caught up with it at our first rest stop.
The rest stop is near a long escarpment, with a prominent line of exposed rocks. Within the area of the rest stop there are rock formations with multiple layers of sandstone.
We crossed the border into the NT at 9.55am, but our clocks all changed to 11.25am. At least it was closer to lunchtime!
The scenery in the Victoria River area continued to be impressive.
We had decided to stay at Timber Creek rather than push on to Katherine. The caravan park behind the Timber Creek Hotel has grassy areas, a pool, and entertaining croc and raptor feeding.
This 22 foot Bushtracker is 7 feet longer than our 15 foot van. It will have a larger bathroom and kitchen/diner, but is otherwise the same. The extra 7 foot of awning could be a challenge in strong winds. The second air conditioning unit would only be used if the first one failed. That would be very handy if the temperature tops 40° when we are in Tamworth.
Tilly loved rolling on the warm concrete. She then fantasised about climbing this big boab.
A family of seven freshwater crocs lives nearby in the creek. The feeding display was for the benefit of children. The other significant animal population along the creek is flying foxes, but they left before sunset.
We had dinner at the Hotel which was edible but nothing special. As we are parked under trees the satellite TV connection does not work. Instead we listened to the end of an audio book we had been playing in the car.
