Carpentaria

We have now arrived in Normanton after a very long drive on narrow, sometimes muddy, dirt roads. They seem especially narrow when you need to pull off the road to give way to Roadtrains. The kids were really patient with the long drive and we were relieved to arrive in Normanton and camp at the caravan park where there is an Artesian Bore. We had a lovely soaking warm spa and the rest of the family dived into the pool and reinforced their snorkeling skills. This morning is the first time I have been able to get to the internet for ages so I have updated the blog and I will try and add some photos. There is still lots of rain happening so we are waiting to find out if we can continue on the Savannah way or whether we should take a different (ie. principally bitumen route.) I will keep you posted on this outcome.
