Burkes and Wills roadhouse, July 5-6 and 9-10 and Lawn Hill nat.park, 6-9

Burkes and Wills wasn't the best looking roadhouse and  there were a few road trains carrying cows. You can just imagine the lovely smell.

We stored the caravan there for 3 nights and drove to Lawn Hill national park where we stayed 3 nights in a pre-erected tent at Adels Grove. The tent was a nice experience, and a good change from the caravan. Nina and Annabelle had one single bed each and a big crate full of toys that we let them pack. Temperatures dropped a lot when we were in Lawn Hill (it was 35 degrees+ in Burkes and Wills!) and near 0 at Adels Grove. Luckily we were allowed to do a fire beside the tent.
There are some great walks and from what we've seen the  rock formation in the park looked very ancient. Manfred was very lucky to spot a freshie sunbathing on a branch in the water.
Nina had fun canoeing through the gorge and to some cute waterfalls although she fell in the water -did I mention crocodiles?. (Actually Manfred pushed her in the water trying to get the canoe into the river)
