Mr Slack here missed last nights report!
Yesterday we packed up and left the station long after everybody else, in fact it was probably close to midday before we got on the road. In the morning I did my usual walk around the property, or part of it. There were water tanks and a pumping station run by solar power, there was a 22,400 watt solar array which I guess powered the whole place. There was also a big collection, a really big collection, of rusting farm equipment. The station had a lot of horses, in fact they offer horse riding tours etc, and I had the pleasure of watching one of the handlers working with one of their foals. After leaving there we headed back into Derby where Elaine send off a couple of parcels and I had a look at the old goal. The old goal told a very sorry story of the treatment meeted out to aborigines early this century, in fact up to relatively recent times. Then down the road we travelled to the Nillibubbica 24 hour rest area, like the others that we have seen since leaving Kununnurra it is basic but has ablutions, gazebos and a dump spot (for black water). It really is a small world, Elaine started talking to a couple in a motorhome parked near us and it transpired that he, the male part of the couple, had sailed with me on Ben Adam to the Abrolhos Islands some 30 years ago!
We have stayed put today as we have booked the van for a service in Broome tomorrow. This gave us a chance to partially repack the van. We have also met another Swiss couple travelling with their 2 children. That is also amazing as me met another Swiss couple back in Queensland. 
More tomorrow.
