Further up the Cox Peninsula is Dundee Beach, a beautiful area, there are plenty of beaches to walk on and magical blue water.
The beach looks out onto the Timor Sea, great to look at but only the fool hardy would go for a swim, not only the sharks but you never know when a crocodile will swim past, the locals say if you see a crocodile swimming along the beach it is usually going from one creek or river to another.
We have been fishing off the beaches catching the odd trevalley to eat, plenty of catfish, but they go back.
Sunday night we had a great roast lamb dinner at the lodge for $12.50, it was a big feed with fresh beens, brocoli, baked pumpkin and potatoes with mint sauce and gravy.
Monday another long walk on the beaches, we are using the walks to recuperate and get our fitness back, hope it works.
We took the boat out on Tuesday for the first time here, as we have both been battling the flu.
When you take the boat out here you can get it launched and retrieved for $30 a day, it is good value as it means you don't have to put your car in the water, at low tide the tractor that launches has the water halfway up it's wheels, i would hate to see what would happen to a car.
The fishing was a bit disappointing, we got a couple of snapper and cod but threw them back, smaller than we would normally keep, there doesn't seem to be many rules regarding size and bag limits here.
I caught a beautiful hammer head shark, approx 5ft, very pretty to look at, we also caught a wide variety of other sharks, most very pretty, they just get a bit annoying after awhile when yiuvare trying to catch other fish.
It was Darwin again Wednesday, more food and fishing gear.
