6 MONTHS ON THE WALLABY

DERBY WA

Today, 21 June, we decided to go and have a look at the Derby Wharf.  It was low tide and we wanted to take some photos.  High tide is at 5.30pm and we intended to go back and take photos then also to compare.  The two photos below are low and high tide - a very big difference.

As you can see it was quite cold and windy when we went back at 5.30pm.  The first time I have worn a jacket since we left home.

After we saw the wharf at low tide, we went to have a look at the Boab Prison Tree which was used in the 40s.  They say that this tree is 1500 years old.

We also took photos of the Myall Cattle Trough and Bore which could water 500 head of cattle at a time.

Also Frosty Pool which was a pool built by the American soldiers during WW2 and named after Captain Frosty.

We are leaving Derby tomorrow morning and start driving south.  We hope to get to Barn Hill Station which is a working cattle station that also takes in caravans.  As far as I know it is on the beach so we will see.  Check back in a couple of days for the next entry.  I will leave you with some more evening shots of Derby Wharf.  Goodnight.
