We rearranged the car and caravan after our three nights tenting and caught up on washing so it was time to hit the road again. Our first stop was a free camp at Mary Pool on the Mary River. There was water in the pool - enough for some freshwater crocodiles to call it home, along with a variety of birds and some archer fish.

Some of the varied scenery from along the way.
The Giant Boab Tree Rest Area.
The prison boab tree
We hit the coast at Derby (well, King Sound, which is not quite "the coast"). The tides are huge and we were able to see high tide in the afternoon and low tide the next morning to compare the difference. I think it was close to 8m.
We also went back out to the jetty for sunset over the water.
A random moth that we noticed on the ground when we went for a walk
South of Derby the scenery changed a couple of times.
Our final stop before the Indian Ocean was a small rest area just near the turnoff to Barn Hill Station. There were a few different birds hanging around in the low shrubs.
Grey-fronted Honeyeater
We think this might be a juvenile Black Honeyeater.
Willie-wagtail
Horsfield's Bronze-cuckoo
