17th August
We’ve spent the past few nights camped at Camooweal Billabong,just before the QLD/NT border – and also got to spend a couple of nights with friends from home.
The boys had a great time learning to fly their drone, and despite a few crashes, actually got a couple of good shots.
It’s very dry at the moment, but still plenty of birdlife
And the colours were lovely, especially at sunset.
Love these silhouettes of our car and van
We also got to see the full moon rising over the lagoon, which was pretty special.
Yesterday, we took a drive out to the ‘caves’. They are actually sinkholes, made as the water over the years has dissolved the soluble dolomite rock beneath the upper limestone layer, creating a system of caves below the surface. Yet another piece of evidence of the harsh forces of nature.
We’ve had a lovely few days here – would love to come back one day when there is more water in the Billabong.
