Later that same Easter Sunday

 Rested and biscuited, we ventured to the barrage which checks the Murray's flow to the sea.
It was getting latish but we had a mission.  You may recall that Lady Jayne launched the HMAS Platypus near Brewarrina on the Darling.
The jolly little boat and her crew provisioned in Wentworth and set forth to the Murray and the sea.
Now, here they were, through the Murray Mouth and in safe haven for the night.
We left them to the wild sea and their next adventure.
A white whale was mentioned.
We wended our way back through the dunes, gathering ideas for Heths' garden as we went.
Another perfect day.

  1. No sooner had I found my inspiration for our seafarers, than there was more! and thus my watery post in their honour, will not sit neat below the picture of the waves which they faced, as they go to unknown dangers on

    "The masses of the sea under
    The masses of the platypus-bearing sea"

    We wish them well, (with apologies to DT).
