Forbsy cannot help himself, he builds a cairn. As a couple walk past, in my best David Attenborough voice I suggest that on their right is the rare Forbes Cairn Stacker Bird. They laugh, I take pictures of him and move on.
Travel Diary
Around Oz the First Time – Chapter 21 – Am I Just an Angry Old Fart
You need a licence to drive a car but not to have children.
Around Oz the First Time – Chapter 22 – Darwin Day 1
Wandering, always wandering we find ourselves at the head of the harbour where in World War II gun emplacements were built to protect the port.
Around Oz the First Time – Chapter 23 – Darwin Day 2 – the fishing charter
As we drift back to the boat ramp we are set upon by the local constabulary. They are eager to know when Peter is taking his mother ship out for location for the overnight tours
Here We Go Again – Chapter 21 – Yeppoon to Barracrab
There is line taken, there is splashing and because of the shallowness of the water, dragging whatever it is may be symptomatic. Eventually it is close enough to ascertain it is a turtle
Here We Go Again – Chapter 22 – Barracrab to Mackay
This family is very close knit. They certainly do not live in each others pockets but they are a unit.
Silver Schoolies No More – Chapter 9 – Onslow to Karratha
I suppose its the price you pay for progress.
Silver Schoolies No More – Chapter 10 – Karratha Day 2
Its still only mid morning and although we have skirted around Dampier and the port, we are still yet to track down Red Dog.
Silver Schoolies No More – Chapter 11 – Karratha Day 3
We almost don’t bother but something draws us here. The Information area at the start of town talks of the locals overlooking their land.
Silver Schoolies No More – Chapter 12 – Karratha to Port Hedland
Unfortunately we could not celebrate “with” her, and you really shouldn’t celebrate on your own, so we grab the bottle, some orange juice and head next door to our new neighbours
Silver Schoolies No More – Chapter 13 – Port Hedland Day 2
Looking to capture just that shot we head south in an attempt to set the large “toys” between us and the sun.
Silver Schoolies No More – Chapter 14 – Port Hedland Day 3
Some colour catches my attention not far from my shaded position. Its a grove of Sturt’s Desert Pea.
