Day 5 Gunlom falls to Gagadju Lodge

The Morning found the car and camper batteries both flat so we  thought  wwe might stay at the lodge to charge the battteries properly and make some electrical changes to the  van .

The pool was a welcome retreat when we got there a few hours  later as was lunch in the bistro.

i added a heavier duty lead with screw in engel plug to the camper for thhe newly aquired $150 arb fridge which was performing well overkill as a freezer  but we had food in the house freezer to use up and a kool pop was a real treat after a warm arvo walking .

A few odd and sods done and organised we chatted with our elderly camp companions next to us , he was a butcher from Tambo and had never been up this way before and was enjoying the NT lifestyle.

Dark was setting in as  our neighbours on the other side were just getting back frm Jim Jim Falls so were spent awhile with them , getting some prior advice on tomorrow's trip.

Tea was delicious but took far too long as we were all starving .

After tea the kids watched movies on laptops ,  i went for a much needed shower  and shave and the mrs had an early night .

The batteries were left charging all night and i awoke satisfied they were fully charged.
