My beautiful Immy – growing so quick.
After 10hrs driving from Weipa – we arrived at Rutland Station, SW of Cape York on the Kowanyama Rd & met up with some great cousins, 5 days fishing on the Nassua River – so many bara but lotz of fun.
Peter & I set up our swag high up on the banks of the river – what a view.
The fishing was amazing – so many bara, we threw back more than we kept, no over meter fish caught but lotz of others. Julie & Danny (the cousins) provided tooooooooo much food but we had a fantastic time. Lotz of other critters around camp but not too invasive, the goanna was the most persistent visitor but no problems with him, the hawks were amazing, feasting on the bara skeletons – it was Christmas every day for them. The sunsets were amazing, so many colours.
We camped up overnight on the way back to Weipa, along the Dixie Rd & stopped at a gravel pit which worked well. Peter reheated some of Julie’s curry chicken – WOW! so nice. Got to the Archer River, the new bridge is getting closer to completion – I am sure they will want it finished before the ‘wet’ season starts.
Imogen is growing so fast – it is such a joy to look after her while Mum working.
