Still at Robe River having overstayed our 24 hours by just a little bit, we will be heading off in the morning. I forgot to note last night that these rest stops are a project of the Pilbara Regional Council (aboriginal groups) to, amongst other things, help attract tourists to the area and is funded by Royalties for Regions.

I walked along the river today firstly disturbing an eagle with a corella that he was feasting on then as far as I could before running out of track. It is a rather pretty river with a fair bit of water in it, although it might only be a pool because I had difficulty seeing where the water came in and where it went out! Using river water we then cleaned the last few days mud off the van and got it looking almost respectable again.

Tonight Elaine had the usual fire and attracted quite a nice crowd to share a sundowner with us. Last night the area was fairly full, with about 20 vans in, then they all left this morning so that at lunchtime we were the only people here. Now there is once again 15-20 vans here.
