So, armed to the hilt with gps tracker, plb, phone, and camera, plus water and snacks, we set off early round the lake.

Our track for the day is in red. Blue our circumnavigation of the peninsula and previous evening excursion along the road.

Moolayember Creek, part of what formed the lake, is labeled, but I don't see any line. Brown River enters the lake from south east.

Before we disturbed it.

Temperatures haven't been high, but we are more comfortable bush bashing when cooler.

Too many to separate. But we did recognise a blue faced honeyeater. We see them at home. Though this was not what was singing.

At least we hope it is, as access to the top of the mountain would be too much for us, involving climbing up a vertical wall.

We've discovered in the past that trying to stand exactly on coordinates is difficult. Usually entails a sort of spiral approach rather than a straight line. The compass in the tracker only works when moving, and there are errors in the gps. 8 meters was close enough.

We can see the peninsula, and the truck on the near shore. There's some haze in the air today, perhaps a fire somewhere a long way away.

We are often asked where our favourite place is.

The short answer is "wherever we are at the time".

There is nothing particularly special, or outstanding, about the small rise in the middle of the pic. Apart from its called Meeks Lookout and its a nice place to be. We have no idea who Meeks was, or is. Or perhaps what a meeks is.

A squatter pigeon. There were four or five in a small flock.

I'm a restless person. Most birds seem more restless. Not still for long. Even the patient egrets and herons.

Looks like the truck is on a lean. Inside its not noticeable while sitting or cooking. The actuator bed modification allows me to make the bed horizontal for sleeping by raising corners independently.
