Gotta have rocks in my head staying at Halls Creek & Fitzroy Crossing?

The Fitzroy River lodge is the place to stay. A Google search will give you all the info you need. I have stayed there many times.

Regards.

Lock up everything, leave nothing in sight in locked vehicles, use a motion sensor light all sides of van.

And hide the keys. Unfortunately.

A little off track but re "hide keys" I have several mates in the police force and they all recommend not hiding keys away particularly in the case of "home invasion".
They suggest you leave the keys on the kitchen bench along with an old wallet with a few dollars in it and a number of expired credit cards. They say this is better than waking up with a knife at your throat demanding car keys.

That's a good piece of advice. I like it. I will pass it on to my Daughter who lives in Broome.

Cheers, Hetho.

That is actually a brilliant piece of advice.

I have a friend in Dubbo who lives in fear every day.
Scared of when her turn at a home invasion will come about.
I will pass that bit of advice on and do exactly that myself.
The escalating crime rates with these lawless juveniles and others is getting scary.

I saw on "Insiders" today one of the whinging brigade going off about changing bail laws etc and high incarceration rates.
He had me swearing at the TV, if they don't break the law, they don't go to jail - Simples.

It is alright for some, try being on the other side of the ledger - a victim.
Then the agenda changes markedly.

Totally agree. I always leave my keys on the bench. I tell all my family better to have gear stolen as it's insured and at the end of the day not worth being beaten protecting it. Praying we will be blessed with safe journey. So disappointing that Aussie travel is so risky. what happened to Australian being the "lucky country".

I'm considering driving into Bungle Bungles and paying exorbitant accommodation price because they can name their price, hoping mum will be able to see a little of bungles to make the rough 2.5hr journey worthwhile and me walk to Cathedral gorge, then risk staying at Halls Creek. The only issue is it.s 2.5hr out and we would still need to drive to Derby.

Lock your place up with secure hardware. Thats simple!

If they want to break in you'll certainly hear them coming.

They are only opportunists, not interested in you Engel, might take the food. You should have something like a bike lock on it anyway. if you have loose stuff take that inside. Halls Creek motel is very good been refurbished and has a good restaurant.
