Gulf and Kakadu tour, 2015 Day 8 and 9

We slept in a little as it was chilly but then just as we were about leave Phil broke the power connector for his fridge. This took a little bit of time to fix so we ended up leaving a bit late. On the way out we turned north at Lawn Hill station and headed towards Doomadgee. This crossed several different properties so there was a bit of gate opening and closing to be done but the scenery was nice and it was a pleasant drive. 

We refuelled and had an early lunch in Doomadgee before continuing west. We made a quick stop at Hells Gate for an ice cream and then continued on to cross the border into the Northern Territory. 

The road got steadily worse the further west we went and we ended up camping the night on a cattle property at Snake  Lagoon. It was a bit rough but the sunset over the lagoon was pretty nice. 

It was chilly the next morning so it took a little while for us to get up and get going. We continued west to Borroloola where we refuelled and had morning tea. A little bit out of town we took the turn off to Roper Bar and Limmen national park, once again the road seemed to get worse the further we went. 

Around lunch time we got to the Southern Lost City camp ground and decided to stay for the night. So we set up camp and and had a late lunch before going for a walk around the Southern Lost City rock formations. They were pretty spectacular and many photos were taken. 

It was back to camp for a cool drink and a restful afternoon in the shade.
