Day 48 – Seven Emu Station to King Ash Bay (Sun June 10^th)

We savoured our last morning here, and enjoyed our view and all that goes with it! We then packed up and said goodbye and thank you to Frank, hopefully we can come back one day with a boat.

Bye Bye Seven Emu

We went back through Borroloola on our way to King Ash Bay, lucky we didn’t need supplies as everything here shuts midday on Sunday.

We clocked 7,000km today, so that’s about 1000km per week as we’ve been away 7 weeks on tue.

We arrived here in the early arvo, and set up camp along the banks of the Mcarthur River at the King Ash Bay Fishing Club. The river is beautiful, its blue and calm and has plenty of crocs. We spotted our first salt water crocodile on the opposite bank as we were setting up camp.

My afternoon was spent doing yet more washing, at least I had a washing machine today. We were initially staying for 1 night, but decided to stay 2 as the first day was spent doing washing, and I just want to kick back on the river bank and do nothing tomorrow.

We have a nice grassy spot, which I love, no more bulldust everywhere! It’s pretty busy here, this time of year, the grey nomads come up for the fishing. It’s a fisherman’s paradise here, and that is why they come. 

Unpowered sites are $22/night for 2 adults, they have a bar/restaraunt, mini mart and fuel station.
