28 July 2015 - Broome to Windjana Gorge

Well this is the day the adventure begins,  all the luggage on the bus and off we go to pick up one other lady.  Greta was a 70+ year old lady, full of life and a great sense of humour.  All in and on the road, first stop was Willare Bridge Roadhouse for morning tea.  Next stop Derby Boab Prison Tree and Myall's Cattle Trough for a look, then a drive through the town of Derby stopping for a walk along the wharf.  Woo Hoo, on The Gibb River Road, well the corrugations were huge, luckily we had the old patch of sealed road to stop the body shaking for a minute or two.  Stopped at the Mowanjum Aboriginal Art Centre for a look and the lunch stop.  We arrived at Windjana Gorge, massaged from head to toe, unloaded the bus and had a lesson on erecting our tents. I missed out on the warm water for a shower, so it was a very quick one.  I lit the camp fire, so I was designated the daily job of lighting the camp fire.  A lovely dinner, chat, laughs and off to bed in my little tent. :-)
