Fitzroy Crossing calling

We were not sure where to stay (there are 2 places for caravans in Fitzroy Crossing) so we ended up at the Fitzroy River Lodge just over the Fitzroy River. This is like an oasis in the desert and after we unpacked enough of the van we went up to the front bar of the resort and shouted ourselves a couple of beers as it was hot work getting things set up. We’ve noticed it getting gradually warmer the further north we are going and this region of the Kimberley is about the same during the day (approx 38 degrees).

Later on we take a drive through the town and end up at Geike Gorge National Park which is 18 K’s out of town. We did a couple of short walks there and decided to head back as didn’t have a good water supply. You could tell the locals were wondering what we were up to.

Fitzroy Crossing was a pleasant stay thanks to the facilities of the resort and it makes a perfect overnight stay for anyone travelling through the northern parts of the Kimberley.
