9/8/22 Borroloola

 


   Arriving in Borroloola , we set up camp at the caravan park and took care of lunch , then went for a swim in the pool to cool down . It was nice to not go anywhere else for the day , after several days of travelling . Next morning we went out for a ride on the bikes , this is down at the new boat ramp on the McArthur River . It's funny that this beautiful river exists in a place that's so dusty & dry !!


   It's another of Mother Nature's cruel  tricks - you can't swim in this beautiful clean water , due to the presence of snapping handbags - crocodiles !!


    This is the old Borroloola Police Station - now a National Trust building .


    The moon was appearing before sunset , so a good opportunity to get a photo .


    This is another section of McArthur River from near the old boat ramp . The road going over the river is the way to Hells gate & Qld via Hwy 1


   These are some of the community houses across the river - town is on the left hand side of the river .


   We are having 4 nights here , because we can . Here's a map link :- https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1iKHsYjngAbbBQf0TwhELnw6MB0Infs8&usp=sharing
