Derby to Fitzroy Crossing

On the 11th July we paid a quick visit to the Boab prison tree, there seem to be a number of these across the Kimberley. They were used to support the cruel practice of holding captured forced labour from the indigenous people.

One common characteristic of even the well used sealed roads in this area is the one lane bridges, given the flood characteristics these can be quite long. A local practice seems to be left hand indicator means I am going to stop and allow you to cross and right hand indicator means I am coming through please make way for me. In any case these deserve some care as they are numerous.

Fitzroy Crossing was a bit of a surprise in that although quite small it has a resort that incorporates a caravan park. We opted for an unpowered site and were offered anywhere on a grassed, mown and sparesly treed 5 hectares, beautiful.

Funny what happens when the ablutions exhaust the supply of toilet paper in the gents. I could hear multiple conversations on mobile phones from the cubicle occupants calling the resort management and they were aggressive. Consider your own supply when using shared facilities.
