Derby III

Rest day today. Wow but its hot, and humid. You sweat just moving around. We went and had a look at the tourist things: Boab prison tree, Myall's bore and cattle trough, Mowanjum aboriginal art gallery, pioneer cemetery and then had lunch at a funny place called the Windmill. You sit out the back in a 'beer garden' surrounded by demountable accommodation, like right next to you.

Judy retired to the van saying it was too hot. I went back on the sightseeing trail and picked up the old Derby goal, the wharfinger's house, and some old junk around the jetty including parts of the tram that once rolled down the main street and all the way out onto the jetty.

At least it's cooler now that the sun has gone down and a nice little breeze has sprung up. We're off tomorrow and I suspect that it will be a good thing to get away from the humidity.

Here's a snap from todays lot.
