Leichardt Falls

Now we hit the Savannah Way!

Not that far to the first stop and we have a stop off on the way at Bourke and Wills last campsite before they pushed on to the Gulf.

Onwards onto the gravel road and got an early lesson on outback signposts. There was a warning cone in a dip in the road which was hidden until you were almost on it. Even at 60 we took off in the Landcruiser, were airborne and it felt like the caravan joined us. Evel Knievel would have been impressed.

Once we had all recovered and now driving at 30, we got to Leichardt Falls. There had obviously been a big flood through here with river sand piled up downstream on both banks from the Falls. We met people who had been here before and said it was totally changed, previously being green and lush with swimming holes.

Never mind, the Falls were great and the kids loved staying in a large sand pit. As we were early we also managed to get a really good location.

Given his recent success Robbie was desperate to get fishing again, so we rigged up and what do you know had two big fish fish in no time, trouble was we had no idea what they were so back in they went (later told they were river cod).
