We drive out to Karumba on the Gulf of Carpentaria, the remotest point of our trip. It is a 70km drive north from Normanton through savannah land and then the flattest flood plain of grassland and salt pans. In the savannah there are contented cattle and spider webs as big as flags that take ownership of their host shrubs. On the flood plain we spot a flock of Brolgas in a small swamp. Of course I’m breathless with excitement and I say to Woody that all we need now is to see a Jabiru and I’ll be happy. All of sudden a Jabiru appears, I’m speechless.

The Jabiru’s are amazing. I was astounded by their size.

And they’re quite beautiful aren’t they?

The sheen on them is certainly beautiful and they’re so laid back… or maybe I’ve only seen them when they were “in the zone” fishing.
