Day 4. King Edward River – Mitchell Plateau – WA 8th July

We had a big day drive the next day turning off the Gibb River Road and heading north towards Mitchell Plateau. We stopped in at Drysdale Station and left our boat trailer there (a lot of people leave their trailers here), to reduce the amount of dirt road it had to travel along, and we were going to have to back track back past this station.  After a lot of corrugated road we arrived at a campsite on the King Edward River. This was a nice little place where we went exploring and found a waterfall and Aidan and Cody enjoyed a late afternoon dip in the river and skimming rocks again. Along this road we did come across a guy with two camels who was travelling the whole WA on camel back. You would think this guy would be a really interesting person to talk to, but we soon understood why he was spending 12 months out in the middle of nowhere with nothing but a couple of camels – he was socially inept!
