Saturday, July 5:
Left Tennant Creek and
headed towards or next stop – a cattle Station called Banka Banka north of
Three Ways.
The homestead is right
on the highway and had a lovely green circle of grass where she directed all
the vans to the spot she wanted. It was $10 a person and the showers and
toilets although in portables were spotless. The place is obviously popular as
soon there were vans everywhere – no power but water.
That night they had an
entertainer who was staying in high fifth wheeler at the park. I admire people
who have a go but he was really very bad and apparently his jokes the night
before were quite racist.
Banka Bank has a great
history as a cattle station and is now owned b the Central Land council on
behalf of the traditional owners. The managers lease the homestead area from
the Aborigines.
