King Ash Bay

After a night or two in Borroloola we headed for King Ash Bay, right near the Gulf. The drive was a short 50 K or so and had us camped on the McArthur River that leads straight into the Gulf. We found ourselves in one of the best camp spots so far, our loungeroom this time was an excellent view over the river and spectacular sunsets.



We were lucky enough to meet up with a couple beside us with a boat and spent a day fishing. Didn't do too good, only caught a couple of catfish. The weather had cooled considerably and all the fish had gone to ground. So much for these "No Brainer" fishing spots!!

We had a great few days there and will head off East along the Savannah Way to Normanton, going through Burketown. This will include a visit to the iconic Hells Gate Roadhouse on the way. Can't wait to head bush again!!

  1. It certainly is a beautiful part of the world. Do you plan on coming back to King Ash Bay again? Not much has changed. It's still beautiful.
