The name of this place says it all! We left Hell’s Gate and had to take a diversion road as the flood waters are still too high to continue on the Savannah Way to Borroloola over the Calvert River. So we headed through Calvert Hill property, where we had to open and close numerous gates and push through hundreds of cattle before heading out through some very flat open country.

| Not to far from where we camped the night - not much to see! |
We bush camped the night before heading up to Cape Crawford where there is a roadhouse called Heart Break Hotel. Michelle and Jaime have been here before and were forced to stay a number of nights last time because a wheel fell off their car as they were driving into the place. Well we stopped to refuel and as we drove out a wheel fell off our trailer! We make a quick repair and turned around and headed back to stay the night there so we could sort out the problem. We have decided we will avoid this place on any future trips around Australia!
