Animal Stars

This post is dedicated to the animals we have encountered along the way. Memories of places are attached to the animals we saw there.


Giant clam and turtle at Cape Laveque in far north Western Australia.

 

 

Horse and foal on the Roper Highway in Northern Territory. These horses are descendants of those used on Elsey Station. We see these regularly on the way to Jilkmiggan.

Black tailed wallabies on the islands in Lake Argyle, near Kununurra in the Kimberly region of Western Australia.

Johnson Crocodile, also known as a fresh water crocodile at Geikie Gorge National Parl.

Peacock visiting K for breakfast in Darwin. These birds are in just about every caravan park we visit. Not native to Australia however. They roost high up in the gum trees at night away from feral cats and dogs. The delightful honk works like an alarm clock in the morning.

 

 

Baby Cherrapin, a large thin claw prawn in a creek near Derby Western Australia.

 



Geese at Sandfire Western Australia. This place has been burnt down several times. A testament to the tenacity of outback dwellers.

 

 

 

 And my absolute favourite has to be the magnificent sight of a pod of female whales and their young at the head of the Great Australian Bight in South Australia.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm sure there are even more in the archives.
