Sunday and all is well

Paul is cooped up and bored.

Another day waiting for a plane to arrive. It is raining heavily now and the roads are bogging up. Paul, local Deputy CEO took us for a drive today to the waterfalls and waterholes on the Coen road and as the day went on the roads got stickier. Some of the local tourists found how sticky it was with rather spectacular slides into the creek.

Paul and Larnie took us to an outstation and we wandered around the waterfalls, waterholes and creeks for a while. What a delight. It was very gray and hard to photograph in the rain, but we got some good shots.

The afternoon was uneventful with the cooking of a communal curry and the drop in of Mark the pilot - yes ironic but true. While we are stranded, a helicopter arrives. he is staying the night and maybe one of us who will remain nameless was shamelessly trying to get an early lift back.

It will be nice to come back to Lockhart in the fine weather to really take photographic advantage of all we have seen this weekend.



The weather looks no better till Wednesday and there is no plane Wednesday, so........ could be a long week.
