Well we are now over the 26 parallel and officially in the North Western Australia. Our camp for the night is right on the beach ( well 50 ft off actually, 'cause the tide comes in and floods the sites otherwise). There is no shelter and we are hopefully of fish, but that doesn't look all that hopefully either.
Our trip here encompassed passing through Kalbarri and staying out at Murchison Station homestead, camped on the river banks. We finally caught up with Kaye and Shane, who looked well after finishing their stay of work recently at Denham. They are now off to Ledge Point CP to be assistant managers there, so life for these two is never dull. The disappointing part is they kept saying "have you seen this; have you seen that, you must see....." Unfortunately because of the amount of travel to get to a warmer climate our 'sightseeing' is a bit curtailed. Nevertheless, I am hopefully we will slow down shortly and some real tourist activities will begin.
Now to the little saga about our 'home wrecker' Bec McG. Well this so called nice person, stole a home from two love birds back at Nobby's head. On going to the toilet one day, Bec happened upon a 'deserted' nest ( so we thought). Bec was going to surprise her grandchildren in Karatha with it - "Linda has one, the kids will love it!"
Elaine that night goes to the toilet and finds these poor lonely little swallows huddled up on the opposite corner of the nest place and on reporting back to camp, the big, bad Beccy, had to hand it back.
The following night the two love birds had settled either side of the nest, but were unsure if it might disappear again. We left the next day so hopefully they may have ventured back into their rightful place.
Needless to say poor Bec has shown complete remorse about the situation, but we are keeping her well away from any nest we find in the future. Old habits might die hard, so we can never be sure.
