Policeman’s Point (text by Tom)

This morning we got the caravan ready to go to Timber Creek, our next stop. We stayed at a bush camp which is a camp with no electricity, no running water, no camp laundry, no sink …..Oh and plus no toilets, so you have to dig a hole in the ground!
It was still a good camp that had a good view of the creek. When Ben went fishing and we all went with him, after a while Dad spotted a a fresh-water crocodile on the other side of the river (thankfully). It was dozing half in the water, half out. After a while we left the crocodile alone and after a few hours of lazing in front of the campfire we went to bed.

Using up all the spuds before the WA border quarantine inspection & dump point!

The kids found a pod that rattled, cracked it open and played with the contents. It turned out to be a boab seed pod.






A visit from the RAAF!

Dad was very happy with the feathered visitors!


Ben fishing again the next morning (always on the lookout for those “big lizards”)
