After the excitement and adrenalin rush of making it through the 2 river crossings we headed off to find a suitable campsite for the night. We ended up at this great bush campsite on the side of the Gibb River much to the horror of the couple who had already set up there for the night. They had prime position with their caravan facing the river, fireplace set all ready for a romantic evening when the Griswalds arrive and the Curtis' (other family) - you can imagine how they must have felt when we rolled up with 5 kids desperate to get out of the car and head to the river to start fishing directly in front of their caravan! Anyway we had a great night - big campfire with damper scones (not made by me, far too gourmet for my style of bush cooking!) and the romantic couple paid us back by belting out all the hits of the 80s! A bit like being at a 40th birthday party! Then it rained and rained...
