Mothers Day on the Gibb


12th May 2013

Happy Mothers Day

Again the day started at day break, with Rach joining me for coffee in our shady camp area. When the girls woke shortly afterward, they each gave mum the cards they had made, unfortunately the present I had bought for Rach has been misplaced ( I know it's somewhere in the van, but do you think I can find it ).



We headed up to the homestead at about 7.45am, to meet up with the Phil the station manager and join the tag along tour.

The tour was great, we stayed in contact via hand held radio we had borrowed from Kim, very handy and learnt a lot about the station.

Mt Elizabeth Station covers 650,000 acres and holds around 6500 head of cattle. During the drive we saw cattle, 2 dingoes, a lot of red kangaroos & wallabies. We also had several river crossings and were taken to see some amazing aboriginal rock art in its natural state, it was a truly great experience, well worth it.



Tonight we are treating Rach to a meal at the homestead for Mother's Day and we have been told that the station is renowned for the meals it serves, so it should be a great night.
