Pressing northwards relentlessly....

...so said Arn this morning as we left the lovely Lotus Bird Lodge after yet another huge breakfast, including home made muesli and home made fruit salad. The owners and staff came out to hug us farewell, and stood waving as we set off down the drive.




Before we left, I managed to catch Arn near the flood marker. In April 2006, cyclone Monica came through. He is standing in the dining room, next to the dining table.






We went on to Coen, where in the grounds of the Heritage Centre, we enjoyed our morning smoko. We also discovered a bowerbird nest, and I was able to catch the bird in it for a photo shoot.








A visit to the quarantine station helped us to understand many of the pests, diseases and weeds that are just to the north of us, and how we must be vigilant to stop them coming into Australia.

Lunch was at the Archer River Roadhouse, the famous archerburger, and fruit that had all been grown on the property. It's a very picturesque river.






Weipa at last, and dinner on the deck, with a wonderful view of the setting sun.
