Burketown

River at Burketown 

We arrived back in Burketown on Saturday after another enjoyable night on the river to refuel and repower up. Unfortunately life had other ideas and we lost all 12v power to our van. Panic stations - we are in Burketown hours from anywhere. Firstly a Big Thank You to Jake - Manager of the park - he was so helpful and couldn't have done anymore to assist us. Secondly our thanks to Greg an Auto Electrician who stays in the park. Whilst we had to stay an extra night (Greg was off fishing) Greg was able to source the problem and patch it up to get us up and running again.
Late start Monday morning as our car battery which had been starting to pack it in - did. Pretty good going really as it was nearly 6 years old (original battery).
Luckily we were able to purchase a new one without paying an arm & a leg.
Burketown is a clean/tidy little town for the main town block however becomes a little dodgy beyond that. People are very friendly & helpful. But why would you live here - the Barramundi of course !!
