Winding up at Wyndham

So we've had to pick up the pace a bit as, for various reasons, we need to get home a bit earlier than we planned and we bid Nola and Andy "happy travels" a bit further back as they continue on at their pace.
We traveled to Wyndham via Derby, Fitzroy Crossing, Halls Creek and Turkey Ck. We camped at rest stops on the way (there are heaps in WA), one of which was the popular Mary Pools. Right on the river bank under shady trees, the sounds of nature all around. Only to be spoilt by a silly old git who had to have his blasted generator going for hours. Heaven forbid he miss his favourite tv show! One of my new pet peeves.
Had a paddle in the rock pool but no swimming thanks to these fellas. Yes, I know its just a freshie but he still has very sharp looking teeth!

Wyndham

We had lunch at the Wyndham pub, Barra of course, then up to the 5 Rivers Lookout which offers a stunning 360 degree view of the 5 rivers that run into the Cambridge Gulf.




We were fascinated by this humane toad disposal point, I wonder how many people use it. I think I will stick to my swerve all over the road to squash them technique, tried and true.

Walked down (and up) 140 steps to the Grotto



The amazing tenacity of nature. A boab tree growing out of rocks. Have seen this at various places, just incredible.
