Derby W A

Leaving Broome we started heading East, so no more west coast sunsets, we have enjoyed the sun and surf of the north west lately, now for the Kimberley. It’s been a dry, wet season, this year so no doubt it will be dry river beds, and not as lush as we were hoping.

First stop was Derby, not much to see here, a boab prison tree, which they held prisoners in many moons ago and Australia’s longest feed trough. Also have huge tides here around 9 metres we took a walk out on the jetty, then had a cuppa and back on the road again.

That night we found a nice farm stay at Lake Ellendale to camp. So good of the property owners to allow campers in there. The cows were extra friendly and plenty of birdlife around the remaining water. This one particular cow, thought she would like to go vaning with us, even checked out the sleeping arrangements.

next morning it was time to head out, this was a lovely, peaceful overnighter.
