WYNDHAM

This is Wyndham taken from the Bastion – a 350 metre high hill.

Wyndham is the most northern town in Western Australia.

 

 

  From Five Rivers Lookout at the top of the Bastion you can see the Forrest, Pentecost, Durack, King and Ord Rivers   entering the Cambridge Gulf.

 

This is looking out over Port Wyndham which was the original site of the town. This is still a busy live cattle exporting port.

 

 

Back in town the Big Croc is the local attraction.

Salty, a croc in the Perth Zoo was the model.

 

We stayed at Parry Creek Farm an ideal place to stay to visit Parry’s Lagoon.

 

 

 

He looked like a statue but this Brolga looked for a friendly pat.

 

 

 

 

 

The Parry Floodplains is  an important feeding and breeding grounds for many rare and unique bird species. Unfortunately a fire had been through the area recently.

 

These Jabiru's were sunning themselves at the wetlands.

 

This is the bird hide overlooking the lagoon. We could have sat here for hours watching the different birds and salt water crocodiles.

 

 

While we were watching a croc crept up on some ducks and caught his breakfast.
