8th July – Wednesday
Poor television reception here, so missed Michael Jackson’s funeral. We also forgot!
Bit breezy and cool early this morning but settled down by lunch time. The boys spent the morning attempting to set up Brian’s satellite dish, even Elvis came to help, but they couldn’t tune it in. They will have another try this afternoon. Jenny and I just watched.
We did a tour of Karumba and discovered that zinc is piped as a slurry from Lawn Hill in the Northern Territory to a works here, for transport by ship to somewhere. We also found the fish processor who sells fresh, cooked prawns for $12 kg. Will return tomorrow for prawns. A hot bread shop and a large supermarket – includes a hairdresser, takeaway and a Retravision store – was the extent of the shopping precinct.
We haven’t seen any – yet – but there must be a large number of crocodiles in the area, given the Norman River and the large number of lagoons in close proximity. There is a nice beach opposite the caravan park, but no way would one go swimming. Cat is staying very close to the caravan.
