121. Port Gregory

HARSH LANDS



A short trip north to Port Gregory takes us through this area that was established to gather convicts that would then be sent to work in the surrounding mines. There are some remnants that remain in very good condition, others that are now merely a pile of rubble. The operation was closed after only three years; the reason was because the conditions were just so hard.



PINK LAKE


We asked many but no one could tell us why its pink. The lake was nearly empty however we could still appreciate this rare sight.




HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT

After opening the presents in the morning, a little snorkelling at the lagoon, then a few shots with his new bow & arrow it was time to start the party. The cheezles were out, so was the soft drink, the lollies served & the music cranked up. Matt even had a few visitors drop in for the celebration.

Well done big boy; Happy 12th Birthday.
