Today Jase & Roddo made it to Drysdale River Station at about 2.30pm where the plan is to leave the 'big boat' behind and the tinnie is left on the roof of the 4X4.
In the morning the boys are going to explore Walcott Inlet for a few days.
The closest town to Drysdale River Station is Kununurra which they passed through yesterday about 360Km to the east and because of its remoteness,
it has pretty much everything such as a small general store, accommodation, a riverside Camp area, a homestead Camp area that has full ablution facilities,
a licensed dining room offers evening meals and breakfast, Vehicle, tire and welding repairs and of course, fuel.
Drysdale Station is only open each "dry" season (approximately April to November), so the boys don't have a lot of time before 'the wet' starts to settle in.
It was interesting to learn that the area surrounding Drysdale station is 1,200 ft above sea level and although it is well and truly in the tropics
it can get the odd very cold night (getting below - 4 °c at times in winter!)
Tonight the boys are having a good dinner at the licensed dining room because the next few days will be what ever they catch.
Tomorrow, Jase will contact me via satellite phone giving me updates on what they are doing - so stay tuned!
