Got licked on my ear, then burped into it at 6.30am this morning - by Boris - nice one puppy! Slept in this morning after our late night - 7.15am. Kettle was straight on the stove and coffees needed..... Craig made us an omelette with bacon & onion for breakfast, very yummy. Boy gave the truck a once over this morning after the incredibly rough roads we went along yesterday - all okay :) Time to pack up camp, fill up the water tank with the spring water at Bramwell and make our way down to Coen. On the road about 10am and the road isn't too bad so far.
We stopped for lunch at Archer River Roadhouse about 12.30pm - boy had an Archer River Burger again, but I settled on a toasted sandwich. Back on the road again at 1pm, after Craig & Jim eventually finished looking over and under the Oka that was parked next to us.

We reached Coen about 2.30pm and the boys went straight in for a beer on tap at the Sexchange Hotel. Grabbed some staples from the general store, wine and a splash of diesel then headed to the Coen River to have a look at the campsites there for the night - hoping it's not too windy there. Very pleasant camp spots along the river, boys decided to go across the river and we'd make camp on the river bank there under the shady trees (the Coen River is more like a creek at the moment, which is good for us). Boris had a lovely swim and play this afternoon, then Jim got the fire going for dinner.

We had a nice curry cooked over the fire for dinner, then cleaned up, shared some chocolate and I was in bed by about 8pm - well writing my journal anyway. Craig, Jim & Ev sat around chatting for a while. Boris was in bed about 6pm after eating his bone earlier on, he got up for his dinner and then went straight back to bed - lazy dog.
