Tunnel Creek n Winjana Gorge

Walking in Tunnel Creek
Walking thru Winjana Gorge
This poor old croc had taken the bait and got the lure stuck in his mouth.. We werent going to help him as his teeth were too big.. Some people just go fishing where ever they like and they dont read the signs.

Cape Leveque

We went night fishing with our spears that we made earlier in the day. It was a fantastic trip to Lombadina. We were spearing in water up to our armpits.. it was pretty crazy..
Just floating around in the water in front of our beach shelter at Cape Leveque.
On the road to Cape Leveque. It was like a 6 lane dirt road for 90kms then it was tarred and 110speed limit once we got into the aboriginal lands.
All set up in our beach shelter..we had 3nights here. EXCELLENT..wish we had booked 10nights
This is how we set out our tents etc.
Getting reception for the internet on the car.
The weather was perfect all the time.
Billy still had to do school work while we were away.
Love this sign..was on the road to cape leveque.
View from our hut.
Boys cooking dinner.
Spear making at Lombodina..

Derby and Broome

Billy learning to drive again..
Drinking from the longest cattle trough in the world. Apparently it could feed up to 1000 head of cattle at a time.
Everyone has to hug a boab when you go to Derby

Billy and some friends in the park at Derby. Rodney and Kevin carved this Boab nut for him..They were really nice fellas.

80 mile beach and Barn Hill WA

Another gorgeous sunset at Barn Hill Station
I love the red dirt and how it meets the blue ocean. It is amazing..
Classic....the old grey nomads have thier own bowling green at this park.
This is how 80mile beach caravan park looks since the cyclone in early 2010

Cape Keraudren

This is what we called the aircraft carrier...its about 14ft tall and covered in small oysters. We walked out at low tide and climbed up the back of the rocks onto the top. The following shots are of our view from the van of the rock at different tides..also the rock is about 150ft long. At low tide you can walk out and at high tide it goes under water..




This is our ranger coming to collect fees but every morning he would have a kick of the footy with Billy. He said it was his exercise for the day...Billy loved it..
This little guy guarded the toilets and didnt let any riff raff in... I sure wasnt gonna argue with him..There were actually three of these humungus bulls roaming around the Cape and they just cruised thru the camp any old time they felt like it...
The locals were very friendly and this one was lookin for a feed...
Who said Oysters dont grow on trees????????????????

Karajini National Park

This is our camp at Dales Gorge. Note the lovely grassy sites. Red Dust love it.
These are 2 criminals I picked up. We are actually warming ourselves in the sun just after sunrise as it was only 2 degrees at dawn.
Meet Ranger Bill. He was given a work sheet to complete which he did and passed with flying colours and in return he became a Junior Ranger and he thought that allowed him to boss us around. As you can see my sewing skills have never improved..bit crooked.
One of the many lookouts overlooking the gorges which were approx 100m deep.
This is at Circular Pool at the end of Dales Gorge.
Billy and Deni took a shine to this piece of amazing rock. It was far too heavy to bring home AND Ranger Billy put his foot down and told us we couldnt bring it out of the Nat Park.
Billy building rock towers throughout the park.
Family shot at Fortesque Falls.
We had a swim here at Fern Pool, water was freezing except for the top 12inches.
Check out the colour formations in the rocks.
This is at Hancocks Gorge just before the Spider Walk. We couldnt make it as it was a bit hairy waiting for Billy to drop off the rock walls.
As you can see in this shot Dave wasquite high up with only rock below to cushion his fall. It was an amazing walk.
This was a long wide load that stopped us on the way home. It took up the entire HWY. We were so glad we didnt have to follow it as they moved at about 10klm per hour.
