Carnarvon continued

A photo of the Facine, the lagoon at Carnarvon. There are expensive houses being built on the shores of the lagoon, a little like the canals at Surfers Paradise.

A photo of the Gascoyne River which is underground at the moment, sort of like an artisan well but which is capable of flooding the surrounding countryside, including the very spot where this photo is taken

Andrew, Joka and Nikki. Joka is a most delightful, cheerful, popular and loveable woman who has made us so welcome.

Tikka, Joka's cocker spaniel who loves the water. Joka takes her for her daily runs which consist of Joka driving and Tikka strolling or running outside the car.

Tikka is a character. When Joka goes out Tikka immediately leaps on to the sofa, where she is not allowed when Joka is at home. She ignored Andrew and my presence, we obviously did not count, as far as sofas are concerned.
