Ok, so I really don't know how to take a good 'selfie'!!

Here we are with Dot, minus Ray who had already gone to work when we were ready to leave the farm in Dalwallinu.  I managed to leave a jacket behind in their car but luckily Dot sent it on to Murchison for me, thanks Dot!!

While we were doing all the little jobs in Geraldton, we purchased an egg carton foam for the bed and the 'tester' went to sleep on it haha

Some things take up the whole road :)

We had a couple of days at Kalbarri and it was pretty damp so we visited the Rainbow Jungle, where they breed parrots.  The one below was very curious about the camera!

We checked out the coastline around Kalbarri but it was cold and drizzly so not the best conditions.

As per usual, it is very hard to get photos of Bun hahaha

We spent an extra day in Kalbarri as Murchison had rain and we were advised to wait.  There was a bit of water around but the majority of Butchers Track was sandy so not too bad.

A sunrise at Murchison Oasis Roadhouse/Caravan Park!

There are multiple polo cross fields surrounding the caravan park and a huge event will be held there in July.

Bun took time out to practice his swing LOL but then had to walk down the polo fields to collect the balls.

We took the bike out to Errabiddy Bluff which is only a few kilometres away.

Deb took us out to one of the local stations and along the way we saw the river flowing.  The level had gone down considerably by the time we saw it.

The things this guy does!!  He had his eye to the ground, trying to gauge how high the water had been LOL

We visited John Jensen on his station, he paints some great scenes!  His homestead was originally built in 1884, but has had some changes over the years.  

 It was certainly an interesting afternoon!

 We also went out to Pia Community, where about half a dozen Aboriginal families live.  We had met Jo (one of the teachers) and Dai Thomas and their kids Gus and Stella, at the Roadhouse on the weekend and went out to catch up with Dai.  As we had crossed over the river, there were thousands of tiny fish either side of the causeway, trying to go upstream.  After spending a couple of hours chatting with Dai, school finished for the day and we all went back to the river crossing to see if the fish were still there.  Gus and Stella ended up catching handfuls of fish and 'saving' them, transferring them a handful at a time!

The light was beautiful!!

As we left there to head back to the Roadhouse, the sun was going down behind Errabiddy Bluff.

After spending 10 days or so at Murchison helping Debbie and Geoff, with Bun in particular working hard with his 'raker', we left there last Friday.  We weren't sure what the weather had in mind and as the roads had been shut for most of our time there, we didn't particularly want to be rained in again.
We went to Hamelin Station Stay and parked up for two nights.  Saturday was spent visiting Shark Bay, Denham and Monkey Mia.

Today (Sunday) we drove to Carnarvon and have booked in for a couple of nights.  Now that we have returned to civilisation :), we enjoyed skyping with Callie (Steven was fishing, hope he caught something) and Josh, Kara and Kasiah.  Ben is still busy working up in Brisbane at the moment and enjoying the warmer weather.

We walked out on the Mile Long Jetty this afternoon but may have to return tomorrow with the good camera.  I only had the phone with me today.  We hope to see if we can find some locally grown fruit and veg tomorrow, otherwise it will be back to the supermarket.

We are planning to hit the websites tomorrow and make some calls to see if we can line up some work soon.  We've been given some names in the Kununurra area so hopefully we get lucky!

That's it for now

Cheers

Anne
