Our final stay on the way back to Kununurra was at Home Valley Station Bush Camp. This is on the Pentecost River. ( El Questro Station is directly across the river.) We spent three nights here while I fished the river. No success here though. But, the scenery, have a look at this. The Cockburn Ranges were in full view from our campsite. (The shot below taken from the tent door.) Saltwater crocs sunning themselves on the muddy banks. A Dutch film crew were filming their reality show "Outback Luke".


This is one of three crocs on the bank this day. (250 metres from our camp site) Probably a 10 footer. Needles to say, both the sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. Below is a sunrise over the Cockburn Ranges. Wyndham is over the range to the left hand side about 50 klms away.

Finally, the Gibb River Road was not the Horror Stretch that we had envisaged, it was very good. More bitumen is being laid each year and the road is being upgraded each year. I'd guess that out of the 670 klms stretch 90 is now bitumen. It is not remote at any stage with dozens of vehicles passing you each day. Highest fuel cost $2.28 a litre.
