Thursday 8th June

All good things must end...so we headed for Hell's Gate and beyond. No official word on the road, but a quick chat to some fellow travellers gave us the confidence to continue. The going was slow with many washouts and many small water crossings. Our fascination with taking photos of each one has long gone. Crossing the state border from Queensland to Northern Territory gave us an extra half hour but it wouldn't be enough to get all the way to Borroloola. The scenery was magnificent around Echo Gorge and a tip regarding a secluded camp site along the Calvert River was a spectacular overnight bush camp.
