Our final day in Derby was HOT! Definitely hot! I was able to take the washing off the line only an hour after hanging it out.
This morning we first headed back to the Derby Jetty to see it without water – definitely a difference to high tide. Following a look at the mud, we drove out of town to the Boab Prison Tree. This tree is actually hollow, has an opening for a doorway and was used in the 19th Century as a prison for recalcitrant Aboriginals. Today it has significance to the local indigenous population and is now fenced off. This didn’t seem to worry the large amount of native bees which had created a couple of hives in the trunk.
A quick trip to Woolworths and the service station, then back to the air conditioner – and the ironing!

My washing dried in an hour as well. Thank goodness for clothes dryers.
