We go fishing and only catch one fish – a fish other than barra (the new phrase for the word cod)! Today’s fishing story is about Adrian Momber’s brother, Hugh. His nickname at boarding school was Huge Member, Adrian therefore became Huge Member’s little brother! I swear to God I thought Stephen was going to bust a gut he was laughing soooo much.
We have a hearty breakfast and head to Camp Creek in the tinnys. We follow the creek, over rocks and some sand. Not too difficult but still lots of climbing. Stephen is still laughing. The creek is like an oasis amongst the rocks and red earth with magnificent paperbarks and green grasses. We pass a number of spots that look great for a swim but then right out in the middle of the water you see a croc waiting for his dinner to arrive – you!! We continue to climb and eventually reach another beautiful waterhole with a natural spring feeding it.The synchronize swimmers have remembered to bring their pegs this time and proceed to perform their star routine. Very classy, however the pegs won’t stay on because of the amount of suncream on the delicate noses. (Enjoy the video)
We have use
d tonnes of suncream and insect repellent on this trip and I am very grateful that it has been provided on the boat. Sitting in the tinnys has also been very harsh on the shorts – wet bum and salty pants that can, by now, stand up on their own. If I appear to be in the same pair of shorts all the time that is because I was only going to ruin one pair. I am thinking of having them framed when I get home, mud, salt, fish stuff and all.

The water is crystal clear
On the way back to the tinnys we come across a lizard having his lunch. The landscape has changed quite a lot from the northern Kimberley. There is a lot more vegetation around since we reached the Hunter River.
Stephen's best Kate Winslet impersonation
We return for lunch and spend the rest of the day cruising until about 7pm. Everyone quite tired tonight and we hit the sack not long after dinner.
