A common washout on the Kidson track. See how deep it is? 1495.jpg (90.8KB)	The bulk of the track is in good nick, so we sat on 90kph, and nearly got caught a few times by these washouts! 1496.jpg (64.5KB)	We bumped into two incredible international travellers, Denis and Tanja, who are walking across australia from west to east. 1497.jpg (74.2KB)	The 7 camels carry all their gear. This journey is going to take them 2 years! Visit their web site at www.denis-katzer.com 1498.jpg (57.9KB)
At the end of the Kidson track we headed north on bitumen to Port Smith caravan park, for our first shower in 6 days.	Low tide at Port Smith lagoon. My car amoungst the mangroves here, and would be underwater if left for another 6 hours! 1499.jpg (78.8KB)	The tide can be up to 8 meters here. This is where the locals launch their boats from. Very muddy and risky! 1500.jpg (116KB)	Although there are meant to be bities here (sharks) I could not resist a quick swim in the crystal clear water! 1501.jpg (49.5KB)
