We packed up camp and went for a walk down to the Archer River crossing, where the locals were still partying on the banks of the river. Music, dancing and empty beer cans everywhere. Sad that they treat their home as a tip.

It was Rosalie's 65th birthday, so Kath decorated her seat in the bus.

Jeff pick us up in the bus, after the crossing, then we stopped at the Batavia Goldfields for morning tea. Jeff took us on an informative tour of the relics of by gone years. We stopped at Mt Tozer for lunch.

We then journeyed onto Lockhart River, which is an aboriginal community. No alcohol is permitted within the area otherwise a $75 000 fine occurs. There is packs of dogs roaming the streets, along with the horses. No paddocks around here.
Col & Sue were dropped off at the hospital, while they were there we went off down to the beach, where Kath gave a talk on things that were found along the beach.

Then back into town to pick up Col & Sue then off to Cooks Hut campground where we are staying for two nights. Yeah we don't have to pull down the tents for another night.
Mark found a Rainforest snail, which was huge, about the size of your hand and some glow in the dark fungus. We had a bit of rain, but it was still warm, so it was enjoyable.
