How's this for a Boab?? Bill Webb, known to most of you and friend of mine took this photo. It is a great shot and I asked if I could use it on the blog and share it with you. Susan and I are staying in the van at the back of Bill's residence at The Frank Wise Institute in Kununurra. This is private property and we appreciate Bill's generosity. We're in the van overlooking the Ord river.
On a recent fishing trip to the Pentecost river I took this composite photo of the Cockburn Ranges. The Cockburn (pronounced Cohburn) are on El Questro station which is well known for it's upmarket lodge and the Emma Gorge. The photo shows Mesa type outcrops. There are many of these in the ranges which stretch around to Wyndham.
The trip to the Pentecost river (about 116 klms west of Kununurra along the Gibb River road) was an overnight fishing trip with friends. This is a photo near the campsite taken while I was having a break waiting for the tide to push back over the rapids below. Caught a good 84cm. Barra here as well. There are plenty of saltwater crocs about. I counted 5 in close proximity the night before. You need to be very wary lure fishing at night.
You all know I have a taste for the old "Bundy Rum". Well I thought I'd give the local brew a go. This is the distillery in Kununurra run by a local operator. I've tasted the brew but I'm still a queenslander who loves his "Big Bear"
