Home Valley HS

Sunday, May 24

Mike and Jan booked an escorted tour around the homestead to see the places used in the filming of Australia the movie. Sally, Steve and I opted for a self drive tour. The destinations of the drive were all back on the Gibb River Road so we didn’t see much of the homestead. We drove up to Bindoola Waterfall, however there was no water flowing so we settle for a quick swim in the waterhole

Nyarli Billabong was overgrown so we didn’t stay and on the way back to the homestead we stopped at the Cockburn Range, Pentecost Valley lookout to see the ranges under a different light.

That evening we had booked into the e was confused and could not take our drink order when we ordered dinner, and finally later in the evening he asked us to stop smoking in this area (outside the dinning room). This was enough. We made our feelings clear and left the restaurant bitterly disappointed with our visit to Home Valley Homestead.
