More Crabs

The photo I posted shows you our site (van, tinny and car) on the right, and Brice's boat and vehicle to the left. The white gravel around the park is actually tiny shells from a beach near here.

This morning we went crabbing again and managed to catch ourselves 8 nice ones which are now cooked and frozen. We leave here Monday, so hope to get in a days fishing in the cat with Brice and one more days crabbing.

My son Daniel decided at the last moment to fly over for his 21st on Sunday (he’s arriving noon tomorrow). I contacted the bus company-its $340 return and 12 hours each way to Perth, the flight is about $600 return (getting more expensive the later you book!), so unfortunately, it doesn’t look like I will be catching up with him which makes me sad. At least he has his dad and lots of other family members in Perth to help him celebrate. It reminds us how remote Denham is. And that reminds me, we are now drinking de-salinated water as there is no fresh water supply here.

Yesterday we did a bit of cultural stuff rather than fishing or crabbing-we went to the very new big and shiny interpretative centre to learn more about the area past and present. It was good value (and they let us both in cheaper on that Senior’s Card).

Right now, I’m about to go and start cooking lamb shanks for our dinner-we have Brice eating with us tonight and so we’ll eat a little earlier than usual.
