King Edward River - Mt Barnett Station


We experienced our coldest day today for 2 weeks. The tempreature was 15 degrees and boy did we all feel the cold. Today we headed back along the very ordinary road to Drysdale Station. We had a brief stop for to re-fuel and again paid a hefty $1.95 per litre. We were thinking of by-passing here and refueling at Mt Barnett Station as we thought that perhaps the fuel may be a little cheaper there, but so glad we didn't as their pumps were broken and the car parks was chockas with cars waiting for the fuel pump to be repaired sometime today.There were signs on the bowsers asking people to refrain from abusing the lovely staff in the shop as they couldn't do anything about it. Before reaching Mt Barnett roadhouse we stopped at Barnett Gorge. We heard and saw hundreds of bats resting in the trees alongside the river. Not much else to look at so onto Mt Barnett roadhouse and set up camp at nearby Manning Gorge.
