We are actually heading to Gregory but as this is a drive of 420 km we decided to break it up and spend the night at Bang Bang free camp. Drove through dust blowing around, through Normanton to arrive at Bang Bang around lunchtime. Four vans had already set up so we found ourselves a spot and set up. Did nothing for the afternoon. I keep forgetting to mention we have seen kites and hawks along the way. One hawk in particular was extremely large. He was sitting on the carcass of a kangaroo on the side of the road. Didn't fly away as we went past just sat there looking at us. We have also seen millions of termite mounds and if each one is full of termites, you just cannot imagine how many there must be. From Cloncurry to Mount Isa the termite mounds are red and from Cloncurry up to Karumba they turn to a light tan / beige colour. From what I have read they are no where near the size of the ones in Western Australia. Hopefully next year we will find out for ourselves. Another peaceful night at Bang Bang with about twenty vans.
