Home Valley Station, Kimberly, WA

Gibb River Road

 Friday 25th July

R&R for a while!

We decided that we would have this as a rest day, and not get back in the car but make use of the facilities at Home Valley (HV8 is their brand). I spent the morning re-organising my kitchen and got through 3 loads of washing, while Simon organised some repairs at the HV8 workshop and managed to obtain another cow skull! The boys played ball and caught up on their travel journals.

 



Arriving at HV8
We made use of the shaded tables behind the ‘Dusty Bar’ and both boys completed a couple of hours of school work while I uploaded my blog on the slowest wifi connection ever and Simon read his survival guide! We treated ourselves to HV8 Burgers for lunch, which don’t beat the Kimberly burger at Drysdale but come pretty close.  After some serious foot washing we went for a swim in the pool and suddenly it was wine o’clock!


The water looks like hot chocolate!
 

The only swimming that guarantees NO crocs!
 


Washing day



Adding a bigger and better skull to the collection!

Revolting Cane Toads

The boys were fascinated by the live cane toad box and every frog we found was a potential suspect which they interrogated under torchlight!
