When I first take Bluey outside he walks 2m, pees then stops. I have to carry him back into the Bushtracker. Good thing he is only 6kgs!
Our morning was dedicated to washing, cleaning, checking the oil in the Toyota, walking Tilly, and planning our trip home. We have tickets to see Beccy Cole and Adam Harvey at the Caloundra RSL on 17 September. The earliest I could get the Toyota serviced is 12 September in Longreach. Those two commitments dictate the timing of our travels over the next couple of weeks.
There was no wind early this morning leaving the lake very still and reflecting the opposite bank.
We drove out of town for lunch at Hoochery Distillery. It was warm sitting on the grass under shade sails, but even hotter in the car at 41° as it had been sitting in the sun. We ran the air con for a while before putting Bluey on Anita’s lap as the front was cooler than the back. Beside the road were large sandstone rock formations.
The Mirima National Park is just to the north of Kununurra. We could not drive in with Bluey, but could see several of the park features from an industrial area.
The Norforce depot has a fabulous mural on one of its buildings, but I could only capture part of it.
Penney’s Prints is a gallery shop featuring photography printed onto mini orb, shower curtains, acrylic blocks etc. We bought a mini orb boab print in 2016. While she was patting Bluey, Penney asked us how our print has weathered. She had a complaint from one customer whose mini orb print had faded. Our print is not in full sun or exposed to rain so hasn’t faded.
Kelly’s Knob is a favourite location for viewing the sunset. The red sandstone feature is visible from many areas in town. I drove up to the viewing area at sunset.
When I arrived back at the caravan park a group of people was looking at the lake using torches. A sizeable crocodile had chased the bait being reeled in by a man fishing. Hopefully is was a fresh water croc and not the more dangerous estuarine croc, since it was less than 20m from our van! The water is less than a metre from the bank so the critter could easily climb up the bank. Later a larger croc was in the same place.
