Day 3 Dampier Peninsula cont’d

Lombardino aboriginal community. 30 residents, elders run the community so no police. Must have a job to live there. Make their money from a caravan park on their land, a roads contract, ownership of the airport which gains massive profits from refuelling, and a big roadhouse.

Debbie the guide was a laugh.

Then flight back to Broome to see it all from the air.Read more

First day out in the zodiacs. Went to Lacepede Islands. Saw a croc, lots of Brown Boobies (18000 paired couples), plenty of sea turtles, and welcomed home with a very rare experience of a young whale showing itself in the middle of all the zodiacs. Very special. Evening was Captain’s welcome cocktail party and dinner.Read more

Cyclone Creek (pm)
July 14, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Amazing colours, very busy place. Another ship, yachts, seaplane non stop,

Rock formations are 1.7 billion years old and were once flat land. The pressure of two land masses meeting caused the land to tilt vertically and become mountains of rock. One side is the old original rock from the bottom 1.7 billion yo & the other side the youngest rock 1.2 billion yo.

Headed back via the Horizontal Falls at high tide. Very calm and only flowing slightly.Read more

Day 6 - Aboriginal Rock Paintings (pm)
July 14, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Welcome ceremony at Freshwater Cove then a long walk to view 65000 yo rock art. Took the walk back with Neil (the aboriginal guide) so had the chance to ask a few questions one on one. When someone dies they take their bodies to the top of the hill and leave them until there are just bones left. The bones are wrapped and take to a nearby island (which he pointed out) and buried with all of their ancestors there. He named all of the snakes they get - it was a very long list and our top 5 most venomous were mentioned. Needless to say I didn’t look up from where I was waking from that point forward.Read more

Boab Tree with inscription from HMC Mermaid 1820, when it was damaged and taking on water so the claimed the area, fixed the ship, and sailed back to Sydney.

The boab was a source of water, food, and shelter.

Also a bower nest built by the male bower bird. The more impressive he can make it, the more chance to attract a mate - shells, feathers, berries, leaves, anything he can find.Read more

Different style of rock art - Gwion Gwion. Dates back at least 30,000 years but no aboriginal has ever identified their origins. These are one of the oldest depictions of human figures in the World.

C53 plane wreck on the salt planes of the Anjo Peninsula. All survived. It’s believed the pilot set his compass to 43 degrees instead of 23 and was lost.Read more
