Many travelers plan their trip around these sites and use books like Camps 6 that indicate their location. Both have become so popular that sites have become so popular that is very difficult to get in on most occasions.
And so, the challenge now is to new places, not listed where we can set up camp.
Little Panton River a couple of hundred south of Kunanurra was one. We liked the spot so much we camped a couple of days, the girls did some hand washing while the boys washed the rigs at the causeway on the old highway.
We all agreed that this site would soon be listed and it's secrets revealed to the wider world.
the world is getting smaller and smaller..... but hey - when the full ramifications of peak oil hits hard I'm sure these places will revert to wilderness (as not too many folk will be able to afford the almost non- existent oil supplies to go on long road trips!)
ReplyDeleteYour comment is one that is shared by many fellow travellers who recognise even now how privileged we are. We wonder if our children or grandchildren will ever get to see the places we now take for granted. It really hits home when we talk with young European backpackers who marvel at the distances and the variety of Oz.
