Bill and I headed in to town this morning to go to a laundromat, and to see the daily pelican feeding on the foreshore. Only one young pelican turned up, due to it being breeding session and the adults being to busy to pay a visit.
Mid-morning we went to the national park and did some short walks. Flies were still shocking, preventing the idea of any longer walks. Anyway, a pub lunch was calling followed by feeding the local fish through this fruitless activity referred to as ‘fishing’. We tried two spots along the river, but came up with naught. With rain threatening we packed up and headed back to camp to get the washing off the line. Unfortunately we ran short of time and didn’t get a chance to do any of the walks in the coastal section of the park. Bit of a bummer as I’m sure they would have been lovely.
We went for a walk around the station in the late afternoon. It is all bushland and very beautiful. They make their money off tourists, and also rangeland goats which they muster once a year. Not much farming infrastructure required for that. Bill found some kids that live there kicking the football and immediately joined in. In his element!
