Day. 49 Saturday 11th August Karumba - Adele's Grove ( Lawn Hill NP)

Said our goodbyes to Margie & Keith as they were staying another night then heading south. We left around 9 am and about 15 mins out of karumba thought our trip had come to an end when the motor died on the Prado. No or limited phone coverage so when first car stopped gave them car details & asked them to call RACQ for us. We also texted a few people just to ensure message got through. We finally got enough signal after Jason walked around for 10 mins! RACQ said 2 hours wait so we pulled out awning & a couple of chairs & continued our school session for the day! After 1 hour the truck came & it seems it was our lucky day when a minor issue was resolved reasonably easily! Refueled in Normantown luckily as first two servos had no fuel at all. Restocked our drinks at " The Purple Pub" and continued on to Burke And Wills roadhouse (who had no fuel either). Late afternoon stop at Gregory Down which was a general store/pub/servo/ public toilet in one!!! By this stage it was 5.30pm & as we drove past the Gregory Downs Bridge we noticed about 20 vans In the free camp area & we contemplated stopping here, as advised  especially as the high numbers of stock & Roos on the roads, and the road into Adele's Grove was unsealed. We decided to go on & arrived at 6.30 pm to an oasis. A  beautiful river edge camping ground set amongst lucious palms. The color of the Lawn Hill Creek was the most amazing emerald green the photos do not do it justice!
