In and around Derby.

We left Wullare Roadhouse late in the morning.  Most of the truckies have come and gone, except for this cattle truck.  There’s 4 carriages on this one.  Some even come with five.

We contemplated fishing along side of the Fitzroy River, but one) we couldn’t get the vans down there, and two) there’s crocs along the shoreline. (even though we couldn’t see them, they were there!)

The jetty at Derby.  The tide was out so the water was very shallow and brown.  We checked out what kind of fish were here and decided to come back later on when the tide was in.

This hawk, with 5 other ones, were circling above the pier watching the people walking around.

 

 

And as we came back from the jetty we noticed that there was a bush fire just outside of town.  It ended up creating an orange haze in the late afternoon.

And as I write this, I’ve finished washing five loads of laundry and I TRIED to get the “Pilbara” red out of my running shoes.  Now we’re on to the “Kimberley” pink dust.  What’s the difference you ask?…not one thing.  BOTH are red dirt.

Today, we’ll do some domestic touring and more fishing tonight.  Might even get our last sunset over the Indian Ocean.
