Whether you have been here before or not.. WELCOME! I enjoy taking photos that [to me] seem unusual or interesting. Sometimes I think they are funny, sometimes strange and sometimes R rated. In any case you are encouraged to put comments in the visitors book. I hope I can make you smile or even giggle a bit.
Click any picture to ENLARGE it, then use the [Backspace key] to return.

A
final check of Connie's wounds at the Katherine Hospital and we are on our way.
Connie thought Zoe the nurse, was just lovely.
Next stop will be somewhere between Timber Creek (QLD) and Kunnunurra (W.A.).
Kunnunurra is where the quarantine inspectors look for fruit and vegetables that might contain pests like ... ? ... cane toads? ... or Jehova Witness canvassers.
We have crossed the Victoria River (still in N.T.) and the landscape is starting to resemble the Kimberlys - a little bit.
This was a lunch stop. Plenty of fruit and vegetables to eat.
Should I eat a kilo of prunes, OR should I hand them over to the quarantine inspector.
I wonder if I could do both :-)
This is even more like the Kimberlys. Boab trees and huge plateaus with crumbling sides forming the slopes - thats what it looks like to me!

At the border into W.A. the "Welcome" sign is HUGE, and the one for the quarantine
checkpoint is comparitively small.
Did you read the quarantine one?
We handed over some perfectly good bananas (amongst other stuff) as we entered W.A.
Ironically, when we purchased some more bananas at Kununurra in W.A. we had to throw them out because they were black inside! Is there such a thing as aboriginal bananas?
Ayers Rock ... bugger!
Took a wrong turn somewhere!
Connie is searching for the elusive Monopedibis bird species. They have been sighted occassionally around Kununurra

Success!
there it is ... the monopedibis bird. Similar to the Ibis, but with one leg.
Our caravan park in Kununurra is situated on the edge of Lake Kununurra - which is the home of crocodiles.
Now THAT is a Boab tree.
Tip:
If you come to Kununurra bring a good supply of your medications with you.
Amlodipine (Nordip) in St Clair $7.95 - in Kununurra $19
Cavstat (Rosuvastatin) in St Clair $9.95 - in Katherine $16 - in Kununurra $23.95
DON'T go to the chemist here, they'll even tell you that you can buy elsewhere for about a third of the price.

A
regular Friday evening visitor is a musician who plays and sings for the
campers. He is good and so is the background for his stage.
I just couldn't help adding another picture of the lake beside our caravan park.
Even I had trouble believing this ... told to me by the local pharmacist.
This tractor travelled some 80 kilometers through the bush and scrub, pulled down some fences, and finally ran out of fuel. Apparently the kids were playing around with it when it "got away". They didn't want to tell anybody and just "let it go".
Trust me, I'm a pharmacist.
