PREPARING TO DO IT AGAIN

On return to the caravan park at Kalbarri damage was assessed and the boats were prepared for a run up the river the next day.

Bill Breheny’s motor was wrecked (although it still ran).  Damage to the boats was minimal - mostly scratches caused when being manhandled, carried, pushed, dragged, and pulled up the steep sides of the river valley.

Spare motors were brought out and eventually four boats were readied.

The remainder of the afternoon was spent resting - well deserved after two days of hard toil in hot and hard conditions.

Another superb meal was prepared by Phil and Kim. See Le Kalbarri Cafe.

If the highlight of the stories told on the 1994 Murchison River Expedition was Phil Hargrave’s Tale of the Five Fs, then the most memorable tale told during the Murchison Gorges Expedition would surely be Kim Thorson’s Story of the Headless Seagull.
