Ivory’s Rock van park, our last night here after another great weekend at the Winternationals. Not as cold as the past few years, it’s been good.
Big camping areas, great camp kitchens, seems like every site is an ensuite site (individual ensuites in one big block), hot water is a bit hard to get but once the pipes are warm, it’s beautiful.
I tried to put a photo of our camp up but my photos are too big through the website and that Tapatalk app wants me to pay for premium.
Cheers

Yes, I stayed there when the ferry worked last time. On the northern side. A great experience. However be aware if the conditions are right there may be heaps of rats at night. I recall we were sitting around the fire and the kids were cooking damper and rats came from everywhere Around the fire. Pretty amazing. luckily, we didn’t end up with any chewed wires in the vehicle.

You were luckier than I. I did the same and was planning to stay on the Northern side. It was the last day of the Ferry. I caught the ferry northwards and drove back south on the same day.

BUT the mozzies were so bad. I've never seen anything like it. They were coming in through the vents.. I dared not wind the window down and kept diving, unfortunately.

I doubt the water will make it to the Birdsville Track this year, sadly.

Duncan, I don't mind roughing it and I quite enjoy a bit of bush tucker from time to time but really? Mate if things are that bad I will try to organise a whip round. Depending on how much we get the kids should be able to get some sauce at least. Maybe even upgrade to sausages.  ;D

Very funny, isn’t the English language amazing. Fortunately we did have proper food for the kids and they didn’t have to fend for themselves and resort to cooking the rats. And I don’t know what sort of rats, could drag out the old photos. But anyway we were camping in what I would call the bush. So maybe they were bush rats  :cup:
