really good condition. Lots of small creek crossings and cattle grids. Lots of cattle grazing along the roadsides and they didnt give a stuff. Used to the traffic, it was their territory after all. The pictures are of termite mounds. There are a zillion out here. Red and brown, depending on the dust. The view below is of them scattered thru the forest like little statues. We had decided to do breakfast on the road at one of the roadhouses as we needed to fill up with fuel anyway. Our fuel prices ranged from $1.65/lt to $2.45/lt. for unleaded on this trip.. Bramwell Roadhouse. - Rick fancied an egg and bacon roll, but the $12 price tag put us off, a toasted sandwich and a cup of coffee for two set us back $20. Captive market. This place was jumping and making a killing with 3 off road tour buses pulling in behind us. Everyone bought hot food and drinks. From Bramwell, the road deteriorated quickly and it was much harder going. The corrugations were pretty rugged and we were constantly being showered with dust with the 4WDs coming back from the Tip. When we got to the Jardine River, it was necessary to take a car ferry across. $129 return for a ferry ride that would take no more than 2 minutes to complete. They have a captive market once again. Raking in the $$$$$$$. With this river crossing you simply have no choice, there is no other way to cross the river.
