Day 10 - Derby

Derby is the beginning of the Gibb River Road , last time we did this trip we didn't get a very good impression of Derby , so we didn't expect much from the caravan park , but we were pleasantly surprised. We needed to leave our car at a secure location as we were to do the Horizontal Falls trip the next day , this caravan park provided this service at a reasonable cost and the facilities here we very good .


This crab was caught at the Derby Jetty ( not by us ) looks like he has had a hard life , he had lost one of his claws.
The Boab trees in this area are huge and the aboriginals carve the boab nuts and sell them for a nice profit.
Unless you are like Megan and attract the Boab nut sellers on the street and get a much better price ( although I think the guy hat she bought one from in Broome wanted to marry her , he wouldn't let go of her arm and showed her his knife he had up his sleeve )

The Derby Jetty , not very attractive , the tide was out and what you see in the foreground are the mud flats.
