17 July 2006
After breakfast we visited the Durack Homestead which was relocated stone by stone to a safe location before the dam flooded the area. A Great Bower Bird has built its bower under a bush at the corner of the homestead along with glass, bones and other shiny objects. We then headed down a small track to view the lake. From the hill top we saw a crocodile basking in the sun. Returned to the caravan park for lunch then watched a video on the building of the dam before heading out on a cruise where we saw Black Tailed Rock Wallabies, a Black Headed Python and numerous fresh water crocodiles. There are no salt water crocodiles above the dam at Kunnanara. After watching the sunset while sipping champagne and eating cheese and biscuits we headed home.
