Mudcrabs…….we love’m!!!!!!!

Hi everyone,

We hope you loved our post on Horizontal Falls. We are still in Derby & have taken in the historic sites as well as done some mud crabbing.We visited the Prison Boab tree which has a girth of 14.7 metres & is believed to have been used as a transit prison stop for aboriginals being taken to Broome for pearl diving.

 We visited Myall Bore which has the longest stock trough & can feed 400 bullocks at one time. It was a stopover for the drovers as they drove the cattle up the Gibb.

Myall Bore has largest concrete trough in the country.

Frosty’s Pool was a bath constructed by servicemen in World War II (1944). Apparently, officers bathed at a different time to ordinary servicemen.

We had an enjoyable late afternoon mud crabbing session that ended with a glorious sunset & when we cooked them up they were delicious.

The mudcrabs cooked up a treat.
Lollipop mullet were being chased by predators.
We were glad this crocodile stayed on the bank.
Small threadfin salmon.
What a glorious sunset.
I was very nervous fishing this creek!!!!!!!!!
