Day 8 - Hells Gate to Borroloola

Pretty sure today is the closest we get to the Gulf.


Borroloola is on the McArthur River and is is quite a large town with a predominantly Aboriginal population. It has a couple of  fuel outlets, supermarket, post office, caravan park, air strip and school.

The temperature in Borroloola at 8:30 this morning was 30° and it got upto 37°.


There's a fishing "club" at King Ash Bay and in the peak dry season the camps are usually fully booked, with names and rego numbers marking certain scrub sites for a nominated period of time.Apparently the fishing up here is pretty good!
