One more joyous sunrise

Time to reflect on Sea Eagles.

Lucky escape!

There were two blokes, one on the fore-deck and one at the helm, zooming along the river, when along came a Sea Eagle carrying sticks to build a nest.
The boat startled the Sea Eagle, and it dropped the pointed stick, which grazed the bloke on the fore-deck knocking a bit of bark off his arm and went through the window narrowly missing the helsman.

So beware nesting Sea Eagles!

A Happy Ending to a Dogs Adventure

Now 24 hours after being re-united, both dog and owner are still happy to be back together.
The dog had wandered into our camp a few days earlier and occupied a lot of my time, so we were pleased when the efforts of our hosts came up with an owner.
It transpired that the dog named Mack, after the Mack trucks near his home had jumped from a moving vehicle in the bush over a month prior to arriving in our camp.
The owners had searched, left food out and done all they could, but knowing how difficult survival would be had reluctantly ordered two replacement pups due for delivery the following week after we were able to return him home. So neither dingos, nor crocodiles, or pythons had been able to stop this tough little bloke.
He still said g`day to me, which was something I suppose, after refusing to let me out of his sight for a few days. But he was certainly pleased to see his "real" owner, and I did`nt have a camera with me to record the wonderful moment!

After a hunt.

Previously a quadbike was the transport of preference, but now in order to take the wife along Ben has aquired, a "quadbike built for two!"

A small herd of wild Buffalo

A small herd of wild Buffalo standing in the middle of the road caused some heavy braking going to Adelaide River. Sorry but the only photo I got was when they were already in the scrub. You can just see them.
