Seven Emu - Day 1

This might be epic. Better do daily updates.

Came in from the free camp at Kangaroo Creek after crossing the Robinson River twice. We encounter the Robinson again where we are camped, high on its southern bank. At this point it’s 80 meter width is tidal and very deep. That and the resident 4+ meter croc means we won’t be crossing it here.
We’ve just returned from a walk to the river where some of the Station owners family had been fishing. They were netting bait fish which were being chased by small Bull Sharks, and then using hand lines to catch some Barra. One of the boys caught a Queenie which they didn’t really want because they had an enormous one the night before. They filleted it and gave it to us so we had fresh fish for dinner. Cooked in a light coconut/curry sauce - amazing.
The family here were made (in)famous when their antics rounding up wild steers was broadcast on the ABC’s “Outback Ringers”.
The blazing sunset from the vantage of our camp was wonderfully prolonged.
The-day-bed-in-a-shed was a wonderful vantage for the sunset and some star gazing.
What a day.
