Victoria River…

We’d been passing many military vehicles, trucks and tanks travelling in the opposite direction this morning.
My daughter decided a game of counting military trucks was in order to pass the time.
When we got to the service centre at Victoria River crossing there were a large number of assorted military vehicles parked everywhere. The U.S. Marines were in town.

Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger – so click any of the images below to see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer.
My daughters count – 60 vehicles.
We chatted with some of the marines for a bit before heading down to the bridge for some photos.

Then it was time to leave Victoria River and continue on our journey past Timber Creek and Bradshaw Bridge.

These massive Boab tree’s are pretty amazing. We were hoping to camp at this Big Horse Campground for the night but it was completely full which was a pity because I was really looking forward to using this Boab for foreground interest with some star trails :(. So it was onwards before camping the night at East Baines River rest area.
