After fixing our car in the morning we headed North towards Doomadgee. This route will bring us back to the original Savannah Way from our de-tour to Lawn Hill NP.
We weren't quite sure about the condition of the road. The locals don't travel that way and we only spoke to one other guy who came from King Fisher Camp (KFC) and warned us that the road is pretty rough that way. Let's just say the worst part was the first 15km out of Adels Grove. Soon after we headed off it was time for Regine to get out of the car and open/close gates again. ;-)
Not long after we had to cross Lawn Hill Creek at a crossing. So again I've sent out Regine to wade to the other side trough croc infested waters so I could gauge the depth and Regine could take some photos of our first ever water crossing.
The rest of the way was an un-eventfull drive trough some picturesque landscapes and some varying conditions on the gravel road. It took us about 4 hours for the 120km drive.
We wanted to stay at a little spot just outside of Doomagee (this is an aboriginal community and you are not allowed to stay within the boundaries of Doomagee). However the closer we got to Doomagee the more rubbish was laying beside the road. Unfortunately it seems to be the locals that can't pick up after themselves. We didn't feel comfortably to stay there, so we headed back about 15km towards where we came from - well off the main road on a nice flat campsite we spotted earlier, only spoiled by thousands of flies. (Where can we buy fly nets around here?)
