Monday, on the road again after a 4 day stop, still have stunning scenery of the Kimberleys. Halls Creek is 180k along the road, which is about 2¼ hours at our leisurely 80kph.
Another 100k and we stop at Mary Pool free camp, dusty and hot camp beside dry Mary River along with about 30 other caravans and campers. Lasagne for dinner in the cobb yum. 
Tuesday on to Fitzroy Crossing (160k) for lunch and fuel at $1.42 litre and some emails and phone as we have been out of range for a week. Just as we were about to drive out of town I noticed an F100 I thought I had seen at home, I followed and met up with Art Hood, a customer from Rye, amazing. Ellendale is a free camp 90k up the road, set up camp, great spot overlooking the scenery, chatted to others for happy hour
Wednesday 8am on the road phew easy 120k drive to Derby,
the strait stretches of road are up to 15k long, far as you can see without a bend.
Derby is larger than I expected pop. 4500, the main street is lined in Boab trees and has a drive on wharf on the May River that can have a 10 metre rise and fall.
Booked into caravan park and checked out town. Met up with Graeme and Karen and James and Carol for drinks.
Thursday, a bit of shopping a lot of computering and the 6 of us got tickets for the Angry Anderson concert at the local pub tonight, great night good laugh and loud music, think I am getting old.
Friday did the tourist stuff and I watched Graeme make a load of spirits. Sunday we all had drinks and dinner on the wharf for sunset,
sensational.
Sunday 10am and off to the Rodeo, we seem to have been in town to some of the years main events.
Was a great day, found a shady seat in the 30+ degree heat, big crowd and fantastic entertainment. Back at the bus for drinks at 6pm.
