Brolgas, peacocks and other birds wandering the park. Wallaby came in for tea. Went down to see the cattle unloaded from a road train. Cow broke its leg, angry steer. Trailer wheel slightly beaten in, Leigh changed tyres. Tyre on troop carrier abraided on the inside, he had to put the spare on. Went for a flight in a Cessna at lunchtime. Right up to the coast and out over islands then back again. Great view of rivers and billabongs mangroves great stretches of sandy flats. Pilot, Simon, was very nice and probably very lonely. I crept away after lunch found a shady spot and read and slept a bit. Wallabies hopped past to have a little stare. Then a lady from the DC3 came along and had quite a long chat. Nice to be away for a while. Probably could have done a few odd jobs but I needed a break. We went to the Saturday night Barbeque which was very good food. Beef ribs, barra wings, rissoles, and salads. Apple sponge. It got cold so people went home or into the bar. Fellow lit the fire with kero copper flu was red hot for 3 feet up. Open air absorbed the heat.
