The view or two from my "office"

Agreed. I look at 200yr old ancestor graves in little villages and wonder what life was like for them. Those who worked the land through European winters must have been so cold, even after they came home to their families. They didn't have the luxury of warm clothes we know today. And the ones who fished the North Sea must have been permanently chilled to the bone seeking apricity.
Disappoined no-one picked up the use in this post of last weeks topical word. 🤣
 
Gawd, that’s distant history…

But the road is sealed as far as El Questro - so soft city kids can do it. 😜
Soft, was a word that sprung to my mind too, after years spent bouncing along the Gibb River Road in the 80s.
The iconic Pentecost River crossing and coughburn Range, Gibb River Road, now.

(The Outback Spirit coach has Starlink.)

At least the Pentecost crossing is still the same standard.

Great photos - I have to take MrsK back to my old stamping grounds. Although I suspect she will want the full luxury treatment at El Questro, rather than camping

We stayed at the glamping Emma Gorge Resort section of El Questro. Perfectly good. The Lodge is OTT.
