Day 9 Chili Beach

It was a rough journey into Chili Beach, but a leisurely walk along the white sands made up for the discomfort. What a lovely way to end a beautiful day.

When we returned to camp Rob was attempting to relieve a coconut palm of its fruit. He wasn't successful, however someone gave him a coconut they had acquired earlier. The fresh coconut was delicious.

After a very windy night we explored the beach before setting off for Portland Roads.

Day 11 Hann Crossing

Arriving at our riverside bush camp in the late afternoon I noticed a small crocodile swimming across the river. No worries, at least he was going the other way.
After setting up camp we discovered a goanna while on the long cross country trek to the toilets.
Later, Rhonda and I enjoyed photographing a beautiful sunset.
