31 Aug 10 – Drysdale River Station

By Craig: We had taken a spell from the Gibb River Road and had headed up to Kalumburu the most northern community in the Kimberly.







The road was the worst we had experienced for corrugation and rumour had it the road out to Mitchell Falls was even worse, Bugger!








An overnight spell at a watering hole, camp ground , bar, fuel and garage called Drysdale River Station allowed the bones to settle and your eyes to slowly sway back into position.
Let’s face it the corrugations were that bad in places I got nipple burns from the friction of my T shirt. In places, although you had both hands on the steering wheel, the vehicle would slide from one side of the road to the other, there was no steering. Add that to blurred vision and you pretty much get the picture and we were on the good section.






The Drysdale River itself is very low this time of the year, just billabongs remain now until the wet.
