We were going to go fishing today but the wind is 25 knotts plus, so it was more exploring time.
There is an area approx 65 kms away on aboriginal land that has coloured sands, the community is Hope Vale, an area that the aborigine people were taken from and moved further south, they soon became sick and were rapidly dying. It wasn't until Joe Be Elke Peterson was premier that he saw the problem and repatriated them back, that is why they named it Hope Vale.
There is a bush camp ground on the beach, good beach fishing, talking to the locals and people who were camped there was great.
We waked around the beach and watched a Dugong very close in, as we were walking back there were 2 aborigine families who drove along, we asked what they were fishing for and they showed us a large turtle they had, as they left we thought, hope they don't go and get the dugong, I watched they didn't.
On the way back we stopped and went for a walk to,,,,, wait for it, another waterfall, Endevour River Falls, only small but pretty.
The wind appears to have increased so no fishing tomorrow.
