This is another moving day the last one while we are here, it is very windy and cold so we aren't missing out on fishing while we have to move.

It was the normal routine after we moved and set up it was breakfast and a walk to the wharf, when we got to the wharf the tide was so high it looked as though the big trawlers were almost sitting in the wharf, the water was also going over the causeway which is a walkway on the edge of the marina.

In the afternoon we went for a drive out to Wickham sailing club, it was the beach we were going to.

On the way out you have to pass the iron ore loading facilities, the amount of ore ready to go is unbelievable, there are 4 ships at a time being loaded with at least 15 more sitting out waiting to come in.

We passed some mangrove areas that the tide was receding from, to our pleasant surprise we saw a Jabiru, Australia's only crane, very big and beautiful, these are a Northern bird we have seen them when we were at Kununurra but they are not a bird that you see often or a lot of.

We went for a good walk on the beach then into Whickam for a couple of things.

It was finally a warm night outside for a couple of hours, we ate outside and had some games of UNO.
