Day 40

DAY 40 – Wednesday

We got up and got organised and said goodbye to Peter, Penny and the girls.  They wanted a picture of the “Magyver family” before we left, and then we hit the road.  The fuel at Daly Waters was fairly expensive, so we headed for a truck stop and Darren emptied the two jerry cans of fuel into the car to get us to Barkly Homestead.
Darren texted Shane and got him to contact his friend Andrew to save us a site, so we didn’t miss out.  We drove all day to get to Barkly Homestead (560km) at about 5pm.  Andrew gave us a key and told us to choose a site.  We set-up and headed to the bar for a look and a drink.  The bar/restaurant  was very clean and comfortable, and the meals looked lovely, so we decided to spoil ourselves and eat-in. 
After tea we caught up with Andrew for a while, but he was busy catching up on work from when he was in Darwin, so we headed back to the caravan and had an early night.
