Day 1

Early morning start sees us walking down the road to the dock

The captain's dog (a Staffy?) spent half its time up here and the other half running down to the back of the boat and then back again. Apparently it hasn't fallen off!

Welcoming committee?

Rachel and Sheila walking along Revolver Creek

Eastern Osprey (Pandion cristatus)

Crossing Revolver Creek, which by now is not much more than a trickle, a slight worry

Easy walking in the secondary channel
