A flock of pelicans floating past this boat. Hard to see them as they blend into the background.
Happy Hour at the Mindel Beach Markets. Thats our table in the foreground. People arrive around 4 and set up chairs/tables/blankets etc. have happy hour, watch the sunset, walk the beach and then feast on the huge array of take-away, mostly Asian that is here.
One of the food stalls busy cooking up dinner
This little fella came to our campground, the 2nd one we have had visit us. They are blue kookaburras, totally different laugh to our brown ones. This little one knew when it was happy hour as he swooped in at 3.30 and just hang around. When there was no more food, off he went.
This is Sweetheart, stuffed and on display at the Museum. He was more than 50y.o. weighed in at around 800kgs. Was trapped and died in the 70's Video footage of the capture was showing. This croc was menacing fishing boats, attacking the dinghys etc. and in the 1970s he was too dangerous to leave alone. Nowadays I think he would be celebrated and people would flock to the river to try and capture a look if he was still going strong. Kinda sad in todays world to see him end his life that way.

People on the beach just after the sun has gone down. This was one of the quieter nights as we have seen it absolutely packed on the previous night we were there.
