Coppins Gap

Coppins Gap is about 60ks east of Marble Bar. It is one of the few breaks in 100 kilometres of rock wall. Very pretty here and a lovely swimming hole. I actually went for a dip, bloody freezing at first but ok after a while.

We have met a nice couple here from Harvey, Lesley and Craig. They have both retired now but have spent 5 years in a very remote aboriginal community and are interesting to listen to. Lesley was the school principal and gives quite an insight into trying to understand some of the aboriginal thinking.

Off to Carawine Gorge today. It is supposed to be good and perfect for kayaking.Read more
