On the way to Timber Creek the country is spectacular with
ranges. Some of the country has been burnt and is coming back lovely and green.
Timber Creek Police Museum is closed until after the wet, so
we only had the escarpment lookout and Police Point to check out later.
We
moved onto Big Horse Creek Campground for the next 4 night’s right on the
Victoria River. There is also a boat ramp here as the river cruise also leaves
from this place.
The boys wet their lines again and managed to catch a couple
of big catfish also a lot of little 15 cm ones.
A catfish very pretty
There are lots of
Boab trees in the campground and surrounds, a really nice spot.
The road to the Escarpment Lookout went right to the top,
much easier than walking. From the top one can see out over the town of Timber
Creek and the surrounding countryside – just lovely great view to Victoria River
in the distance. We were able to see the houseboats anchored at the Big Horse
Creek Campground boat ramp.
There is also a memorial at the top to the Nackeroos
stationed here during the war, really nice and a credit to the community. Well
done to everyone involved.
Police Point is a place on the river where we think the
delivery of supplies took place from ships traveling to Timber Creek up the river
from Darwin.
