Friday: We decided to go and have another swim at Berry Springs on behalf of all of you who loved the look of that place. We tried to get some different pictures, so you can imagine it. We commenced in the water at the entrance of the waterfall and then we swam and floated all the way down through a series of pools until we went as far as we dared. At that point it had opened out into a huge fresh water river and we have not seen anybody going on further. The small joins in the waterways turned out to be about ten feet wide or more, and about three or four feet deep. With my goggles on I could see all the rocks and pebbles in those little joining places and I also saw a big black and yellow tropical flat fish and he looked beautiful. Lots of little tropical fish as well. I can assure you it is the most peaceful place, most of the time, just heavenly.
After a good swim we did some exploring and found the Blackmore River, which was a surprise, then we drove to Fogg Dam to view the wetlands and birds. Included are a few photos for you. Graeme is testing out his new camera and took some movies with it, which turned out fairly good but may be too many megs to send through.
Thank you to all who write, acknowledge our photos and comment on them, (those snakes were not well liked apparently), but Berry Springs was. Others also have been phoning and others still, sending important information for us as we negotiate our way around the country. We greatly appreciate it all and it is so nice to stay in touch with our friends
