This tall thin being with a sickle head is hunting with a spear thrower and dilly/carrying bag - better behave or he'll spirit you away! Kakadu rock art is sometimes painted over and can vary in age from decades to 20,000 years.
Blown away by this house when we drove the Great Ocean Road a while ago, but didn’t get a photo then. Now we’re tripping it again with Katie and managed to stop nearby for a pic. Suspended 40 metres above the road at Fairhaven Beach, it’s the most photographed house on the Great Ocean Road, probably Australia, and was featured on their Grand Designs a few years ago.
We enjoyed the last of the afternoon sun over a drink at the newish marina development near Mackay's busy port (exporting sugar & coal.) The lighthouse was the last kerosene powered light in Australia, moved here in 1983.
Another big day driving, but it's mercifully cooler at 28 degrees in Renner Springs. The springs water is justifiably well known-made a very soft shower at the caravan site and Don is filling our tank before we depart. It's very dusty here but there's a huge artesian basin below the Barkly Tablelands and it's reasonably green, with beef grazing a major local industry.
