149. Middle Lagoon 2

KOBE


What a nice guy; originally from further south Kobe now lives here with his wife & family. Kobes grandmother actually wrote the novel; “Rabbit Proof Fence”, an account of her family’s life & the struggle in the outback. It was very interesting to sit & talk about this piece of Aboriginal history.




MUD CRAB HUNTING


Kobe, Dane & I took off in the Troopy for a spot of mud crabbing. Usually we would set pots but on this outing we were to spear or hook the crabs in the traditional style.

This was a holiday highlight & Dano whom had not had his best week exploded out of his shell & really got stuck into it. Here was Dane, all but totally blind, chest deep in a creek after muddies. Try that with your eyes closed sometime!



NEW MATES


The boys love it when we pull up some place & there are other children to play with. No worries here, these blokes were flat stick. The locals at Middle Lagoon were super friendly & really made the experience one that we will always treasure.
