De Grey River and Anna Plains Station

Yesterday we stopped over at a beautiful free camp by the De Grey River.  We relaxed there in the afternoon after we arrived.  Today we drove to a farm stay on 80 Mile beach which is very beautiful.  On the way we stopped at a roadhouse which had a lot of peacocks which were very beautiful.  Also on the road there was heaps of Hawks and an Eagle that when we got close they took off and the Eagle’s wings were humungous.  

The farm had a lot of cattle and wallabies and an friendly camel called Chewy.  We went for a drive down to the beautiful beach and found lots and lots of shells.  They weren't ordinary shells either they were proper gigantic shells.  We searched over the beach and picked up a heavy big shell and some pretty ones too.  We also found a skull which we thought belonged to a big turtle.  We also found a jaw bone that had big teeth attached and didn't look like it belonged to shark.  We weren't allowed to swim because apparently in shallow waters there are 3 metre long Bull Sharks and the tide was low anyway.  

Then we drove back through a heard of bulls, a donkey and passed lots of Wallabies.  After we relaxed at the caravan we drove back out to the beach to watch the sunset.  It was really pretty, watching it on the sand.  We stayed there for a little bit and then drove back to have dinner.
