This is going to be a 2 or 3 day blog, maybe even 4 days.

Wednesday we drove back up to Adelaide River, going to have a look at the war cemetery before booking in to the caravan park for the night. The war cemetery is extremely well set and well tended, lush grass, lovely trees and impressive, but not overly large, monuments  it houses about 300 graves and has élan story plaques covering the story of Adelaide River's involvement in ww11. As you can see we wereimpressed and this is not the sort of thing we normally look at.

The caravan parkways quote nice, complete with pool and another couple of solo ladies. We have now parted company with Tom & Laureen who are heading south and want to be home in a Dalby by mid July. We can however count them as friends and hope to catch up somewhere also the track..........that is part of the pleasures of this sort of trip.

Today, Thursday, we have driven back to Robin Falls after catching up with phone calls, etc. This really is a little piece of paradise, we have camped in a slightly different position to
last time being a little closer to the main road, but so far we have to concentrate to hear the small amount of traffic that it carries. The clear stream is just 10 paces from our door, birds noises and the rippling water are the only noise we hear.

It is evening now and we are both relaxing after a great meal. E manages to make some culinary masterpieces under fairly difficult conditions. Tonight was proper chicken soup and a magnificent tuna bake cooked on the BBQ definitely a great meal!

Friday, we are still here at Robin Falls and will probably spend a few days here before going back to Darwin on Tuesday or Wednesday. We did however shift to a better spot close to one of the mini waterfalls, man made, that are a feature here. After a very relaxing day swimming and doing very little we joined our neighbours for happy hour. One of the nice things about free camps like this is that you meet nice people, more so than you do in formal caravan parks. Anyway after happy hour Elaine made one of her famous fires and we had another nice meal.

It is now Saturday and we have shifted again this time with a 'private' pool next to the van and our own little waterfall. This morning I took my mobile with me on my walk and received & sent a few messages. Then we spent another difficult day doing nothing in particular, other than another short walk, this time with Elaine. The fire is now preparing to cook dinner again after a bit of input from yours truly making a really nice fire pit etc.

I will now try to describe this place. We drove just 12km south west from Adelaide a River on a reasonable sealed road then turned off onto a gravel, rather bumpy but not to bad, road for 500m. Robin Falls is about another 500m from the end of road over a very rocky twisty turny path. It is fairly small in width and about 30m high with a half way swimming pool and another at the foot of the fall. The narrow, about 4 to 5 mtrs, stream then winds it's way back to and under the main road. On the way there are lots of little man made rock walls creating mini waterfalls which are like sitting in a spa, together with lots of swimming spots that are relatively shallow. The whole thing is surrounded by small individual hills all about the same 40mtrs high and the area is covered with nice tall green trees of various genres and grasses. The only disappointment is the lack extensive wildlife. There I hope that I have covered this lovely place adequately.

It is now Monday and we are still out of range at Robin Falls. Yesterday was spent enjoying our surroundings and doing a few jobs. Elaine washed our sheets in the stream at the little man made waterfall then finished that job this morning. We are having to run the generator every day when we are camped like this, when we are moving the batteries charge as we drive, so solar panels are on the list when we get home. We get surprised when people arrive as one couple did last night, set up there camper ( in this case car top) then cook dinner go to sleep and take off again straight after breakfast this morning. In some cases they are just on the move, but they don't get a chance to enjoy the place, we see this at a lot of the sites that we visit, anyway I guess each to his own.
