First Day at Bathurst.

The plane taking us on the short hop from Darwin to Bathurst Island...
Aboriginal painting on wall at Bathurst airport...

Dave with the Buffalo horns...


A Traditional Owner (TO) on Bathurst Island...

Take your pick...

Make do and mend...


Victoria with two gun dog pups. Three weeks old...


One of two I would like to put in my pocket and take home...


The other - he has forehead creases already...


Dumping our water transport in the creek...


Dave starts fishing IMMEDIATELY...


And then gets a catch...

Landing at Barras Base, miles from anywhere...

Dave caught a Barracuda...


Still alive and snapping...

Follow the prints to 'home' for the next three days...


Empty cans belonging to absent encumbent...


View from accomodation...



Greg catches a Golden Snapper - fish are jumping...


Dave scaling coconut tree...

Maybe a ladder makes more sense...


Nuts...

One is definitely hanging lower than the other...


Six nuts successfully collected...

Leave ladder for another day...

Greg cracking open a fresh coconut.
