Day 19. Early on the Highway 1 for 400km north to the turnoff to notoriously rough Gibb River Road heading west. Bitumen to the turnoff to El Questro Station and then battled the corrugations down across the mighty Pentecost River, only 1 foot deep but wide and rocky, stopping for 2 nights at Home Valley Station. Found a nice campsite on the green station lawns and under the trees. Marvelled at the massive investment of government funding to develop this old cattle station as a tourist and indigenous training facility through the Indigenous Land Corporation. Dusty Bar, restaurant, swimming pool, up market accommodation, shop, workshop, walking trails, etc opened in 2009. Took a quick swim then beers at the bar before dinner of steak and lamb to the sounds of guitar playing Corey Callum, resident singer and plumber.
