Still trying to catch that elusive barramundi Camp site at Camballin when we first arrived before all the bits and pieces came out.

Still trying!!

Mmmmm well cherubin are really nice, compliments of our new friends.

Cockies coming in to roost at Ullara creek so many of them and what a noise they make.

Camballin River Camp

This is the Ullara creek just out of a tiny town called Camballin about 70k's north of Derby we had a lovely four days here but still no fish I don't think we are meant to catch a Barramundi. We did meet some lovely people and all up had a lovely time.

Star finches -firetails having a drink at the side of the river, watch the crocs little fellas!!

Our outdoor shower the water is only heated from the sun but very nice even so.We had trouble finding the phone box "I wonder why" no phone service out here the people that live here must have statelite phones or use the public phone. There is an aboriginal community near here and the teachers and nurse all live in Camballin you would want to like the quiet life I can tell you one tiny little shop and not much else.

Beautiful White Dragon Flower tree along the river bank the only thing is they are so tall that if your not looking you would miss them.

Passing through Hall's Creek again/ Fitzroy Crossing

Back at Fitzroy Crossing feel as if your going around in circles well we do too but sometimes that's what you have to do to see this great country. This is the old crossing that flooded every year now they have a new bridge.

Looking back at the escarpment Larrawa Station, pretty speeky backyard.

Sunset skies.

More sunset shadows

Loved their sign made on an old wind-mill blades.

Sunset shadows at Larrawa Homestead.

River at the back of Larrawa we went looking for lizards but no luck.
No3 there where lots more but still!!

No2

Their fences caught my eye as you will see No.1

Lazy Daisy who comes out to greet you.

Down the road a bit we decided to go into Larrawa Station for a night, they have just opened their camp-ground and it wasn't too bad a nice walk down to the river and very friendly people. We brought farm fresh eggs, bonus!
After departing the Bungle Bungle and leaving our good mates we headed back to Hall's Creek for a re provision of food and fuel and then we headed up the road again. Hall's Creeks history is mostly around the old mining times and these are a couple of statues in the town.

Mural - down town Hall's Creek

The story goes with this fellow that he pushed his mate 300k's in a wheel-barrow to get him to a Dr. "needs must" as they say. Now they have their own hospital brand new since we where last there.

Cape Leveque- Middle Lagoon and Kooljamin

Not sure how but I've missed out one of the best bits our visit to Cape Leveque so here goes, we loved this area and the weather was really kind to us but not so the fish.

On the left lovers at sunset "not us"

Lovely flowers on the right and you always catch a little bug at the same time



The boys fishing at Middle Lagoon

Duncan's road near Hall's creek

Sawpit Gorge we had a great three days here swimming and sky-larking the boys even had a go at fishing, again but still no luck but it was good fun trying.

White Dragon flower tree we finally found one close enough to get a photo they grow along a lot of the creeks but are difficult to photograph as they are so tall, beautiful flowers and the birds love them.

Little local at Sawpit Gorge

Palm Spring another nice little place along Duncan's road, we didn't stay here just had a look.

Town signs nearly all that's left of Old Hall's Creek which was a mining town they moved it in 1956 or so to where it is now on the main road.

Old Hall's creek post-office made out of termite mound mud, they now have the ruin under a roof to try and preserve what's left of it. The story goes that in about 1915 the post-master did surgery on a fellow on his counter with a pocket knife and a razor blade and he lived the patient that is.

Grevillia blossom the bees love it.

My oh my that's a big one.

and more!!

Still more so many shapes and colors their everywhere.

These are taken in Bungle Bungle the photos really don't do the colors justice, I think I've said that before

Loos at Bungle Bungle
Dome walk they look for all the world like bee-hives.

Giant bee-hives

China wall not far out of Hall's creek we actually had a few days out here before we went into the Bungles.

The things you see in funny places, a backpacker had ridden out to this place (on a very bumpy dirt road) and parked it against the tree while she had a swim.

Lunch at Caroline Pool, where we meet the bike riding backpacker.
