9/8/11 Shady Camp and Rockhole Billabong

Gerd has watched DVDs of people fishing for Barramundi at Shady Camp and wanted to visit.  It is an ugly camp site, and there were crocs sunning themselves along the river bank but there were a number of people fishing and we watched as they pulled in 60+cm catches

In the late afternoon we went on a boat ride at Rockhole Billabong.  It is a beautiful area full of red lotus lilies ...and crocs! They lie on the bank sunning themselves and gaze at you with their yellow eyes and toothy smiles.

We spent the night bush camping in nearby Couzens Lookout camping area.  We were the only ones there.  It was difficult to work out an appropriate address to put an on the census form we had picked up the previous day.
