Almost 10 before we left Drysdale for Home Valley Station as we had to collect the washing. Road mostly good as far as the Gibb. 1st part of Gibb poor with big corrugations then got better. Fantastic views over Cockburn Range just before HVS. Got 1 bar of 4G as we came down the hill so stopped to send some messages. We had choice of Station campsite complete with swimming pool and evening entertainment but opted for the ‘bush campsite ‘ on the river bank a few Ks further on. Not bad for a bush site, complete with good showers. 1 saltie basking on the opposite bank, first one we’ve seen.
