Hello from Mt Surprise!
We arrived here at 5.10 pm. Spent some time looking at the great rock
& mineral display at the Ted Elliott rock show at Georgetown. Cost $8 each
and is a huge & interesting display.
For those contemplating travelling in this area. As water is usually a
problem, I thought that I might mention that drinking water is available behind
the Information centre at Georgetown, and in the park on the corner opposite the
pub in Croydon. Toilets also in the park.
The water at Normanton is really surprising as it is so clear and has no
strange taste. It is available near the dump point at the council depot &
near the toilets behind the Information centre. The reason we were surprised at
the quality of the water is that we walked to the weir on the Norman river close
to where we were camped at Leichardt Lagoon for the last 7 days and it looked
pretty yuckey! It is pumped to Normanton where it is filtered and treated
before being distributed to the town and also pumped to Kurumbah.
We were advised to buy fuel at Georgetown as it was cheap at $1.44 per
ltr. Ha, ha! It is only $1.41 per ltr at Mt Surprise. Oh well, thems the
breaks.
Bye for now,
Des & Bev.
