Our captain said that this was going to be a relatively slack day.  However it started off with another cruise up a beautiful creek.  Once again, lovely sandstone layered rock formations, mangroves and also much birdlife.

We are travelling through an area of truly beautiful and unspoiled country: since we saw the mine (Day 3 – K+2) s haven’t seen any permanent human structures at all, and only a few boats. 

In Europe, especially around Britain, we would have seen lots of buildings. Lighthouses, beacons and piers.  Not so here in the Kimberleys.  This traveller’s log is being compiled for the internet, but there is no internet available, and probably it will be several days before we have any sort of “coverage” again.  For emergencies the boat has to carry a satellite phone, as well as all the other safety gear.
