Friday 4th September The fish woke us splashing in the river and the sun turned the sky all orange and the river reflected the sky with clarity. The frogs went back to bed and the birds got out on the hustling's with a vengeance. Well we are all laid back for a lazy departure and turns army Jim and his six mates - army Jim has shorts and no shirt - he needs us to see that he has another six pack than the one in his esky. They have driven for an hour ...

Wednesday 2nd September We had our customary slow start - decided that driving out to Cape Melville was just a lot of driving and was not worth it given we did not have a couple of nights up our sleeve to stay there if we liked it. So we did the walk along the river instead - Sue had a lovely experience with a red winged parrot - Mal thought it was an Eclectus Parrot but he was wrong.

2015 08 29 Saturday Moon lit night and suddenly we hear what at first sounds like galloping horses but are just one or more kangaroos bolting through the bush near the camper. Sue looked out the other window and saw the dingo that was stirring up the kangaroos - he was not running, just walking along the track following the kangaroos - maybe he will have one for breakfast. We then looked down to the lagoon, there low in the water just to the right of wher...
