    Lots of shade about, flush toilets and hot showers, (gold coin donation but I'll have to check) and about 40 sites.

    There are actually some reasonable 4WD tracks in the surrounding bushland, these are used by the local 4WD club for training and accreditation. (The tracks are always more interesting in the wet). No swimming but Lake Burrumbeet is about 15km away.
    I'm happy to check it out in the next week or so if anyone is interested, yell out if anyone has a better suggestion for a site.

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    You’ll be right to pick us up from the Broome airport I assume. Should only take a couple of trips in the yota.

    Place I mentioned is very accessible Bob, you’ll have no issues with the Maxima. ( At least it’s a Nissan, unlike Growlers new rig).

    Someone might come up with a better location so nothing is confirmed.
    Cheers

    Your New Nissan Bob towing the van I believe would get onto Ulupna Island for the Murray River cool waters no sweat these days mate!
    Well graded now and chunky bluestone rock base through all the little Billabong crossings of boggy old you no doubt remember also!
    Unfortunately now can’t do this forthcoming celebration Jack mate, un-Australian of us but found out on Friday just passed working all late January 2019 needed :-(
    Have fun folks, stay safe!!
