Day 29 – Windjana to Fitzroy Crossing and Geikie Gorge tour

Day 29 – Windjana to Fitzroy Crossing 151km, and BACK ON BITUMEN for the last 40km!!!!

 

 

Arrive in FC, ahead of the flock of Grey Nomads, and settle into our spot. It’s a first come- first served site allocation, so our early arrival pays dividends

 

We also discover its 2 for 1 Fish and chips at the “pub” attached to the caravan park. I availed myself of my first pizza in a month! It’s not Terra Rossa but it was ok, even if it was 4 TIMES the price. We are so spoilt in Melbourne!

 

Day 30 and its Geikie Gorge tour day. We shop in the morning, back to the Local IGA, with the requisite crowd of “locals” just hanging around, not doing much. The IGA is the only place in town that has fresh, and I mean, still hot, bread, so we raid the bakery section!

Geikie Gorge - Simply Amazing!!!!

 

 

Geikie Gorge is amazing and the tour guide, who works for DEC (WA version of DSE) is a local who tells us about both the scientific history, but also some of the local aboriginal cultural history. Just amazing. More freshwater Crocs than you can count!!!!
