Kalpowar Crossing to Archer River Roadhouse

Again up before light, packing before breakfast, loading the truck and setting off for Archer River Roadhouse.
We stopped at White Lily Lagoon to check out the birdlife and as we were pulling out this is what was on the road. Check out the length of the python against the 4x4 tyres.

Archer River Roadhouse Campground
We stopped for afternoon tea at Musgrave Station, then pulled into Archer River Roadhouse for the night. After setting up camp, showering, Ray, Rosalie, Mark & myself thought it would be nice to go up to the roadhouse and have a drink and buy a bottle (or two) of wine for the night, but after meeting the locals decided against sitting and having a drink. Instead we purchased our wine, after several comments from the locals that we were taking our time (not a friendly environment) we headed back to camp for the night. The tour camping area is separate from the general campers, so we had the showers and toilets to ourselves.
