Most of us get up early (6:30 ish) and go for walks along the beach. We are all doing our own thing at this time of day. The beach is fantastic at this time of day, not too hot. By the time you get back (hour walk), the heat is already beating down. It is very, very hot here.
There is now evidence of a croc in the swamp beside the camp site (right behind Wanda and Greg’s camp). There is a large set of croc tracks going from the swamp to the sea. It is brand new, happened overnight.
Jill M, Norbert and I have diarrhoea today. Thank god for Imodium. Michael, John, Lanlan, Dean, Karen, Peter and Greg go fishing about 3ish, we sickies don’t go, I still haven’t caught a fish so am disappointed. Michael catches 2 nice bream, Peter D caught a cod, John caught a puffer fish and a bream, Greg added to the tally with some fish caught on his handline. Lanlan had John’s bream for lunch and pronounced it better than flathead.
In the evening Jill M made camp history, she is the first female camper to kill a cane toad --- by standing on it when she went to the rubbish bin in the dark. She wasn’t too impressed.
The lost lures count is now up to 28. Hehe these fish are expensive.
Banteng were sighted by the fisher people on their way home.
I have forgotten to mention the bushfires that are everywhere. From the moment we began up the Tanami track to here, the bush has been burnt. They just set the fires and leave them to burn. Can you imagine this happening in Victoria? The bush is different here, the fires burn low and slowly.
