| Split Rock site...we didn't go in |
There were lots of bananas & paw-paw farms up behind Lakeland. We passed a huge Solar Farm and Darryl saw an enormous brown snake on the road. Palmer River Roadhouse was pretty interesting.

We turned off into the Palmer River Goldfields and stopped at “The Granite’, (well a big dam nearby) for lunch.

Our trepidation on going in was allayed when we met car towing a van coming out. We could hear them from about 40km away on our CB, and eventually saw workers working on doing up the road.

| This photo definitely doesn't capture how steep this road is in places |
We looked at several historical sites (old mines and mills), then went to the campground.
After we set up another couple came along but went to the Upper Campground (we presume), then later another 2 vehicles came along and camped further down the river. We enjoyed a lovely night watching the stars, (as it was a very clear night), and a few satellites.
