Only 60 Kms today. After much changing and then back to original plan we are going to Goymar Roadhouse instead of a bush camp. Everyone slept in and left about a half hour later than usual. Morning tea was scheduled for 10 am at 40 kms. We ended up stopping at Evelyn Creek. On the banks of the creek were crocodile footprints with emu and probably buffalo prints along side of these. The water was sludges but still had fish in it. This was all viewed from the bridge and no way we're we going down to check it out closer. Mark later saw a freshly lying on the bank.
Passed a horrific smell just before Goymar Roadhouse which turned out to be ahead buffalo. Into Goymar by lunchtime. This roadhouse has been closed for quite a long time but has only reopened in the last 2 weeks. The managers seem to be on top of most things with a beautifully clean and refreshing pool, freshly mown lawn to camp on and clean bathrooms.
Jerry and Mark went down to a rock pool to check it out but weren't game to go too far into the water with all the croc signs up around the area. Anyway they came back and told Kirsten and Gareth about it so they headed down there as well. They were more fortunate as there was at our group there and they were in swimming so they joined them. They made it back alive.
I cooked on the open fire tonight as the gas was still not connected. We had Apricot Chicken followed by a coffee banana cake which didn't actually have coffee in the recipe. Anyway all nice.
Middle of the night we heard dingoes howling again but these were pretty close. We've been hearing them for about a week now.
