there is no ferry across this river

Whilst I would not say i get to all that remote places (I call the Gibb River Road remote), i do go to the out of the way and less visited spots (mainly to avoid the hordes of photographers – sydneys northern beaches i am looking at you here 🙂 ) but it never ceases to amaze me that where ever I go I often see the remnants (and functional) tools or provisions placed on rocky outcrops or shelves by fisherman (or others?).

I am left wondering who would bother to drag down metal poles, a rock drill and cement to install tether point… or in this case a place to put a rope crossing between the mainland and this natural arch.

Whilst it is a little difficult to see in this image, there is a mating post/attach point on the rock off to the right of frame to join to the rusty pole in the foreground. It would be a pretty hair raising experience getting across there on a rope 😉

so i dubbed this little river my version of the greek mythological river the styx.
