Day 66 - Walk in Geikie Gorge

---

For our last day at Fitzroy Crossing we had decided to take a long walk into Geikie Gorge. By the time we got there and walked in to the gorge it was very hot and there were not many birds (or anything moving) to see (other than one hopper and a distant blue winged kookaburra). We went back to the camp and Georgi was determined to capture a few birds to finish off Fitzroy Crossing. Hopefully we have the correct names for these birds!

We also took time to talk again to Bob James, a local who collected boab nuts from around the campground and then carved them to sell to tourists. Bob was very efficient at this task and could collect the nuts and carve one in very quick time!
