Geikie Gorge, rocks formed by VERY old corals. THis used to be ocean.
In this river, there were fish that usually are only found in the ocean. They have now adapted themselves to these circumstances(evolution).

Also freshwater crocs in there.

Prisoner tree in Derby, WA.

Boab tree, used to be a jail.

Only interesting part of the town

(years later, my dad had an operation in Derby for his appendice, after travelling about 200 km's from Broome, in the back of an 'ambulance', on a gravel road (bumpty bump) WITH appendicitis!! )
