We had planned to stop overnight at the small town of Elliott on the Stuart Hwy. However, we continued driving as the caravan park looked very run down. Instead we continued to Renner Springs, driving over 500kms from Katherine. The downside of Renner Springs is the only phone/internet service is provided by Optus.
This is another place we stayed at in 2016, but it is a bit more rundown with the shortage of labour. The lake was murky water, but there is a wonderful 17m swimming pool. The peacocks on the nearby roof were making a lot of noise.
We had dinner at the pub with its collection of 800+ hats hanging from the ceiling.
Two truck drivers sitting next to us drive this B-triple between Darwin and Dubbo each week. They drive two-up so don’t have to stop for long breaks. Several other road trains had stopped for a break.
I went for a walk at sunset and this goose ran towards me. I showed empty hands to indicate I had no food, and it hissed at me!
