this is what we thought we might see ...

into the tropics

 
 

one quick photo of the tropic line and back to the bus .... we were very lucky with the weather all through the trip. It consistently stayed around 30 degrees with constant bright sunshine, no rain and no wind. Very pleasant - when mostly you're in an air-conditioned bus! I read five novels on my Kindle during the trip.

Kormoran Lifeboat

 
 

This is the surviving lifeboat from the German ship the Kormoran which sank HMAS Sydney with the loss of all lives in 1941. Remember the memorial we saw earlier? The lifeboat is in a museum in Carnarvon.
