Days 63-65 - a visitor at Fitzroy Crossing

---

We had a few quiet days at Fitzroy Crossing Lodge catching up on the blog, walking up to the hotel for early coffees and drinking beer and chatting with the locals at lunchtime. Georgi was at her artistic best taking photographs and doing some drawing.

A large monitor visited our campsite too and we took some pics of his visit. It may have been a Kimberley rock monitor. The monitor decided to dig up next doors campsite in search of lunch so we had an excellent view of his activities. When someone came along the road he flattened himself on the grass and kept very still and when they were gone he would raise his head to check whether he was safe.

Some of the birds became very friendly and would wander under the table picking up crumbs from our meals. Mudlarks and Great Bower birds were common.
