Retouched aboriginal art on Mt Elizabeth station. Several years ago this primitive attempt at restoring art was carried out by a well meaning group. It certainly caused outrage and was stopped immediately. Mt Elizabeth has some exceptional art in the rocky regions of the property.
Our plan was to visit Walcot Inlet from Mt Elizabeth. A drive of 143 klms to Bachsten Safari camp and then a further 75 k's to Walcot inlet. The 143 k's took 7.5 hours with several highly eroded drops off hills. we needed a couple of stops for refreshments.
On one stop we met up with Robin Bowering. Here we are at lunch. While the actual drive to Bachsten took 7.5 hrs, lunch with Robin added a further 1.5 hours due to his wonderful life story. He is English and a stage and screen actor. He's had good roles in Australian movies and television series. Keep an eye out for him in the credits at the end of shows.
This is a shot of Dave and Janet Rhodes, caretakers and woderful hosts at Bachsten Camp. More of that later. It gives you an idea of the quality of the camp though. A welcome site after the tough drive.
