Where when...

Ok, let me think, where was I... When last I updated I think we had just returned to Cooktown after Carsten had a flat tyre and we had a flat battery at Elim Beach. Elim is a beach run by an incredible aboriginal man called Eddie, who, at 85 was fitter than any of us. He told us the story of how he got rid of a nuisance 18 foot croc that had started to use the sandbank just off his beach himself, first with a .303 and then a chainsaw and a big fire to dispose of the body parts. Some people might a exaggerate a story like that, but I believe every word of Eddie's story. He also told us how he had personally filled in the swamp with sand to make the beach. Lovely guy. He and Vance also worked he knew some of Vance's telos. Nice.
