After a week in the Discovery Caravan Park in Kununurra waiting for some repairs to the truck, we have it back and will be on the road again tomorrow morning, Sunday 29 July (Happy Birthday, Susan for today the 28th). We expect to be in Broome in about 3 days.
Even though we have been "grounded", it has been a pleasant park to spend the week. We have had a site with a concrete pad so put the full annexe up, and I have finished another painting of Carnarvon Gorge (Qld) and blocked in another paint sketch of a view across the lake here.
To give the truck a run today without the van, we went across to Wyndham and visited that old port town, on the Cambridge Gulf, went up to the famous Five Rivers Lookout and out to Parrys Lagoons (Marlgu Lagoon) - a very pleasant day. Here are some more photos:

| Mountains behind the Lake in Kunurra, morning light - this plus info from some other images is the subject for another painting |

| Parrys Lagoon near Wyndham - such a beautiful place and alive with birds |
 |
| A couple of Brolgas - note the round nut or bulb one has in its beak. They were eating a few of these |
 |
| Massed Water Lillies |

| Looking at the photo tonight,we wondered if the stirred up mud indicated a croc. We didn't notice it at the time but when I visited this place 17 years ago I actually saw a very big crocodile here. |

That STUNNING photo of Parrys Lagoon is my new desktop on the computer.... I could sit and stare at that scene for hours. Of course, in real life I couldn't even sit for 30 seconds as I would be terrified that a crocodile would leap up and grap me.... but on my computer, I think I will be safe!
ReplyDeleteThe following message is relayed from Aunty Marg:
ReplyDeleteShe went to the public library today with Sara (a nurse whom you met once) who showed her this blog. They both had a wonderful time reading it.
Lots of love then from Marg, Anne and Sara

I love the photo with the two brolgas in it!
