A couple of Beautiful Reef Egrets.

Stunning Cliff Colours 

Three Osprey Nests in a Row 

This is as far up as we could get in the boat .

A lovely Young Osprey waiting for Lunch !

Views from above ..

And a pair of Black Flanked Rock Wallabies

We saw 5 the first time we did this ,

this time 28 !!!

And the Butcher Bird that "joined" us for lunch !

Another day, off to Charles Knife Gorge 

Spectacular is the only fitting description !

Nah ... Im not going to Jump !

From there on to Shothole Canyon

Alison spotted a Natures Window we'd not seen

Coffee at Mantarays Resort !

On the way to Kurrajong we stopped at the 

Lighthouse.

Turtle in Tow

Then just above "Our Site"

Drinks at 5.30 !

And a Humpback cruised past right on cue !

It was bloody hard to make up my mind ...

Wine or Photography ?

A bit of both !

Just below us somebody had built this Humpy

Ah the delights of "living by the sea!"

Another Sydney Memorial !

Debs and I went to the Jetty for a Sunset 

But NFG !

So here are a couple ....

The following Morning I'd been awake since 4 ....

So probably not my most intelligent venture !

Standing on the Gascoyne River Bridge 

in a Black Tracksuit ....

I'm sure a few people thought I was going to Jump !

But I reckon the Results were worth it !

Looking back to the Museum 

Then off we went.

This is the first time we've seen 

the Minilya River flowing !

One of the Spectacular River Gums

You have to wonder what caused this ?

Debs was fascinated too !

Then a turn Left to our Not Favourite Spot

Coral Bay .....

Did have a Great Pie for lunch though !

Onwards to Exmouth ....

Carnarvon

Off we went heading to Carnarvon

We stopped at Galena Bridge for Coffee

A drive over the Old Bridge followed ....

I saw the waters join over this in 1992 !

The following morning we visited
