We also stopped at Banka Banka for a night. Banka Banka was once a working station which now offers campground facilities for travellers. There isn’t any power, but the sites are lovely and grassy and the toilets and showers are brilliant. The water here is from underground springs and is so clear and pure. Lovely to drink. Amazing to think there’s heaps of water under the ground when above it is so dry, but it happens quite frequently out here. There’s a tiny bar where you can buy a drink to sip on while you watch a slideshow and listen to a talk about life on a station. The slideshow is really interesting and you get to ask as many questions as you like. There is also a border collie called Jenny and 2 turkeys. Jenny obviously has a very strong instinct for rounding up critters, because she gives the turkeys a lot of grief, constantly stalking them and trying to herd them where she thinks they should go. One thing you need to do while you’re here is to make sure you close your car doors or this is where Jenny herds the turkeys. You could go away with Christmas dinner in your car
While at Banka Banka we met up with Suzanna who is travelling around in her fantastic rig – we managed to get a photo of both rigs side by side – I think David and Goliath were mentioned.
