After saying our goodbyes, we headed off the the coast. A day of snorklling and watching the whales breach off the coast was just lovely. Also found time to visit Yardie Creek to inspect the crossing and an aboriginal site. BTW although it is not possible to drive straight across Yardie Creek, is seems people are driving down the creek edge and crossing it at low tide at th ebeach mouth.

Rest day at Charles Knife Gorge.

During the afternoon we were buzzed by 4 RAAF Jets and 2 RAAF Helicopters.

Next morning we were pulled up by a Amry checkpoint, it was amazing seeing their tent city with camouflage hidden on the side of a main road.

After travelling quiet some distance towards Tom Price we found a billabong and sat and watched the swans and their babies as the sun set.
