IGA at Fitzroy Crossing quite well supplied with fresh goods.....$16.50 for a punnet of blueberries, $8.50 for one of strawberries. Strong police presence ...patrolling the camp ground and parked in the car park of IGA. Everything and everyone seemed peaceful. Short drive today to Mimbi caves were we joined a tour by a local Aboriginal custodian. The caravan park nearby is new and nicely maintained....no power or water....lots of open space.... Double booking of our campsite....fortunately there were plenty of sites available.......dingos looking very healthy in the grass. Extensive cave system with water in pools...some parts very dark and tunnels through the rock made by water.....in the wet the caves fill completely....debris near the roof of the biggest cavern. It is the same Devonian rock laid down as a coral reef 35 million years ago that we have seen at Windjana and Geikie Gorges. Damper and tea after touring the caves . Wine and cheese with our neigh...
Final day in Exmouth. Visit to the lighthouse on the Cape.... built in response to ship wrecks on the reef. wondered at the 13 300 metre high towers producing ultra low frequency radio waves to communicate with submarines up to 350km off the coast and 40m deep. Final visit to the best cafe in town. Swimming of course......and that was that! Farewell Exmouth.
So glad to see you on the road again!
