Hello everyone in PP Green all my friends and family.
The picture of me holding a mudcrab was taken at Hunters creek at Cape Leveque. We went on a tour to catch some mudcrabs and learn about the local indigenous community.
The crab was very BIG and strong. Brian our tour guide took us up the Hunters creek in search of some mudcrabs. We ate this crab for lunch and he was delicious. After we caught them Brian snapped there nippers off so they couldn't bite us.
I got to hold the hunting spear and was allowed to throw it, we tried to catch some fish with the spear but we missed them. I helped Brian our guide pull out a mudcrab from it's hidding hole with a big metal hook.
When we got back to camp i helped Brian light the fire and cook lunch, one of the crabs tried to escape but i picked him up and put him back in the bag . Brian also showed me how to kill the mudcrabs by stabbing the crab with a knife in the heart.
The next day we moved camp down to Whale Song a small bay where all the Mum whales go to have there baby calves, this is why it's called whale song. I made some new friends they lived in the bay , we had a campfire with them.
We went fishing in there boat but it broke down so Dad and there Dad had to jump overboard and pull the boat into shore while we sat there.
I found a Pearl shell a turtle bone and a Trochus shell on the beach at One Arm point a local community at the top of Cape Leveque. We also saw some turtles and got to pat them on the shell.
We are going on the Gibb River road tomorrow and that should be fun.
I am missing you all cant wait to catch up when i get home.

Pre Primary Green Dear Heath, We miss you in PPG. We hope you had a Happy Birthday while you are away. We have looked at your photos and we love the photo of you throwing the spear. We thought you were very brave to hold the mudcrab! We thought the little soldier crabs were very cute. We can't believe how many there were! We hope you are having a great time. Love Miss Goeman and all your friends in PPG :)
