We have now had 4 amazing months at Bamurru, the landscape is ever changing, the trips in the bush or on the wet lands are magnificent.

Another brief trip out of camp to our bird hide. We spend a couple of hours just watching these Goannas and the cockies that tried to chase them away.

At the bird hide guess can have a private lunch.

Lots of pictures of the Goannas.

Several weeks have passed since our last blog, so below are photographs of our time, exploring and working.
Mary River Wilderness Lodge was a great place to stay, with several walks, lush green lawns and a happy hour!

We also went to Point Stuart Lodge. Now Point Stuart used to be one property, however it was split into about 6 properties, one of them being Swim Creek station which is where Bamurru is. Also there is an old abattoir here. Buffalo were first introduced in this area in the 1820's.
