Day 36, 37 & 38
This was our first visit to Lara
Station Wetlands Camp and we’d been looking forward to it for weeks. Reports on Jan’s interweb (thanks Jan) were favourable and Mike
was keen to take in any aviarian species that might come our way. Everyone was surprised that the first native
wildlife to cross our path was a good size goanna who was definitely not camera
shy.

We setup camp by the lagoon and
prepared a camp fire ready to settle in for the evening.

We woke up the next morning to a
glorious sunrise as our morning vista..

During the afternoon, Col venture
to the hot bore for a swim, at near 40o C even sally was reluctant to enter the
water and after near fainting, he slumped off to the cold pool, some 30 degrees
cooler for a proper swim.

That evening it was some easy
campfire fare, a few bevies, a game of 500 then after sunset, an early night.

Our last day consisted of more
visits from the local fauna. This kookaburra
was only more concerned with having his best side photographed then any foreseeable
threat these humans posed.

The night was capped off with a
camp oven stew?? (It was supposed to be
curried chicken and beef but we all agreed it was closer to a stew, albeit not
a very good one). The damper was,
however, superb and two of the artist commission to perform, were very
entertaining.)

In the morning, before leaving
Lara Station, we had a visit from these oldish stockhorses. We can only surmise, that since Lara Station
has destocked all the cattle, these guys are out to pasture.
One in particular took a shine to
Col.
