Arriving at Leichart falls we thought all the best places had already been taken but the usual look see further past the early bird grey nomads we scored ourselves the perfect spot. We were up on the embankment with a lovely view of the river. Fire wood collection started and a fire was set. We spent the afternoon/evening watching the birds and kangaroo’s by the side of the river. We liked our spot so much we decided we should have a rest day tomorrow and stay another night.



We spent the next day relaxing and doing as we pleased. Jock went fishing in a couple of different spots along the river, being sure to be any where near the edge of the water of course this being Crocodile country. He did at one stage come back to camp and grab the camera as he had spotted our fist crocodile of this trip, mind you, only a freshie. Of course a nana nap was squeezed into the afternoon and before we knew it it was evening again and time for a fire. What a lovely relaxing day that was, I think it was needed by all. The bonus was we still had reception on our phones, which is unusual this far out of town. We had been sat around the fire for some time, looking up at the stars we saw satellites and a couple of shooting stars but Trevor had spotted a bright light and had been watching it for a while. He called us over to take a look, it was moving all over the place, we discussed the usual possibilities, a helicopter, a drone, but it was moving far too erratically it was very weird. Luckily we got video of it before it gradually moved further and further away. Had we just seen the Min min lights? Put it this way it added a bit of excitement to the evening and we were still bemused and talking about it in the morning as we broke camp. Unfortunately no pictures of the light dancing in the sky because I just took video.





Nice to have a lovely campsite well back from the river. 🙂
