Adels Grove


On our way to Adels Grove in the Lawn Hill National Park we passed through some stunning scenery and  saw some crocs, only freshies, on the Robinson River.
You gotta give way to these guys!
Plenty of road kill!
Ahh another pub. The Gregory Downs Hotel. Be rude not to stop. And we wouldn't want to upset them by only having one beer!!
When one of these road trains is barrelling towards you on a dirt road, you just get out of the way. They stop for nothing. We were told this truck uses $2000.00 of diesel a day!
Adels Grove is a privately owned and run camping ground on the border of Lawn Hill national park. They have a beautiful fresh water river with some rock falls, heaps of shady camping, donkey hot water showers, and a licensed bar and bistro.
We spent hours floating down the river in innertubes, cooling ourselves from the inside and out as it is now over 35c.
Doing it tough!
We even did some white water tubing!
This was a great spot, we spent 4 nights here, they had a bush walk up to a rocky hill where you could watch the sunset. If you held still there was even mobile phone reception there, and they built me an office!
The long pants and boots were a good idea
only a python, but still gave us a fright!
The sunset was worth the hike.
