When we woke up it was nice and quiet. Lindsey and Dennis had stopped broadcasting to the camp site! After a peaceful brekky we drove through the centre of Derby to the jetty. We got our first view of the sea here since leaving Darwin although we were unable to see the Indian Ocean yet as Derby is on a huge inlet called King Sound. We were still in crocodile country as the warning sign near the jetty reminded us. We looked at the water for a while but didn't get ...

After brekky we hit the highway again. Our destination today was Derby around 250 kilometres away. The scenery was awesome again with lots of boab trees and thousands of termite mounds. As is usual on the outback highways there were loads of road trains thundering along. Just outside Derby we stopped to have a look at the Prison Boab Tree. It was a huge and immensely beautiful boab tree with a very sad history. Before Derby was established in 1883, Aboriginal peo...

After brekky we quickly got some fuel and then headed out of the place. To give you an idea as to how unsafe Halls Creek was perceived to be whilst I was paying for the fuel Jay noticed a girl in the vehicle next to us lock herself in whilst her boyfriend was lierally just outside ...

The sky today was a gorgeous expansive blue and the cloud formations were gob smackingly amazing as they usually are in the outback. Wyndham was a rugged little place with a lot of Aboriginal people sitting about star...

We decided to have a rest day today and stay put. This was a really lovely quiet place and it had a nice pool. We had a late brekky and chilled out. We lazed by the pool, had a swim, had lunch. That was all we did until about half four when we decided to go for a walk. There was a walking trail around the edge of the farm through the bush. The lady at reception had said that the walk took about half an hour and that the path followed the perimeter fence around an...
