Didn’t sleep well but woke up to a beautiful sight. Mist over the river and Japanese type reflection of shrubs in the water. Birds scudding across the water and spider webs glistening in the sun. One noisy bird woke us almost barking, heard him last night too as got dusk. Set off 8:30 good drive crossed Cox river and the Linman. Bright, lovely large pools of green water with red sandstone cliffs over to a great view of distant range and broad valleys. Four Arches peaks, lovely lagoon with water lilies as well. Down to Nathan River Station where we opened and closed endless gates. Cardboard notices about mustering please close gates. Sandstone ranges closing on on us. Can just imagine Nathan City. Stopped for tea then I drove into Borroloola about 1:30. Good Museum, spead out town some nice new buildings, good school, lots of black customers and white shop keepers. Museum small, but effective, mainly stories, history, photographs not many articles. Left about 3:30 and drove on looking for a camping spot. Most rivers dry stopped at Robinson River for a swim but road camp there with a generator going so we followed Morris on further, a few hundred meters in an uninspiring spot.
