July 31 Barkly Homestead

We crossed the border to the Northern Territory this morning – it felt super exciting. The highway is speed limited to 130 kph (there is no way that I am driving that fast!).

The distances are vast, and we have divided up the 1400k + trip from the border to Darwin into manageable daily drives. There is literally nothing between the stops apart from the occasional service station which we seem to be either filling up at or camping behind.

First night was at Barkley Homestead – lots of dust, but a great place to stay. We had dinner with a couple from a farm in the middle of NSW. Always interesting to hear about how others live.
