17 - 18 May 2016 - Days 45 - 46 - Adelaide River - Mt Bundy Station

We left Douglas Hot Springs and headed for Daly River.  After the long drive we arrived to find out that the Mango Farm that we were going to stay at hadn't yet opened after the wet season as they were still fixing up all the damage.

There wasn't much going on and all the fishing charter companies were full or not working so we decided to continue onto Adelaide River.

We stayed at Mt Bundy Station under a huge tree, which is a station with kangaroos, horses, cows, ponies, peacocks, buffalo and bulls.  Most of the animals just roam around amongst the travellers.  The kids loved it.

We went to explore the local area and met a girl at the service station with a flat tyre on her bike.  She had travelled from France and was heading to New Zealand, it had taken her 18 months already.  Michael helped her change the tyre.

The locals market were on so we went along and had a look. We bought the book written by Lindy Chamberlain and I had it in my hand when a store holder asked me if I wanted him to sign it for me.  I was abit confused and asked if he was in the book, he went on to tell us that he was a police officer and helped dig for the baby for 2 weeks and he thinks that someone in the family had killed her.

Our fridge was played up so we drove to Darwin to drop it off to get it fixed.  On the way we saw the paddocks used for the cattle to be held before they are exported to Indonesia.  There were 1000's of cattle in the yard.

That night we went to the Adelaide River Inn for dinner and met Charlie to stuffed buffalo out of Crocodile Dundee.
