| DINED AT THE OPEN AIR RESTAURANT |
SAT 24.08.2013: Did not wait till the seventh day to rest - we rested today! Last night in a very poorly lit camp ground we took the poodles out for a pit stop. Feeling somewhat fatigued it was no surprise to Sybil when she heard 'snorting' coming from Carole and Shayden's direction. Great, Leyland No. 1 has fallen asleep standing up! "Are you alright, yes, are you, yes?" "What's the noise, don't know?" - as the snorting got closer, we moved faster and adjourned to safety.
TRIVIA FACT: Kapok trees and bushes (Cochlospermum spp) are found across the north, in open-woodland. They grow particularly well on rocky hill slopes and ridges. These trees drop all their leaves during the dry season but become covered at this time with bright yellow flowers. The kapok has been used as cotton wool for stuffing cushions and in Aboriginal body decoration. The flowering and fruiting of the Kapok Tree also aligns with the nesting and birth cycle of the crocodile.
