The Point and Shoot images from the Supporters Event at AWC’s Mornington Sanctuary.

Broome to Mornington
Images flying into Mornington and around the main camp.

Sir John Gorge
Then off to Sir John Gorge for afternoon tea, overlooking the Fitzroy River. A stunning location.

A talk that night, from memory, about Mornington Sanctuary.

Rosie’s Pool
Breakfast at the basecamp and then a helicopter ride over the Sanctuary to Rosie’s Pool for morning tea. Back to Basecamp for lunch and a shower. I think we then had some free time to explore.

Bluff Breakfast
Then a Bluff Breakfast early the next morning, which has actually located on the adjoining Glenroy Station. Did The Doc mention we were flown up via helicopter?

Canoes
Later that day we went back to the Sir John Gorge and the Fitzroy River for canoeing.

Sunset dinner overlooking Fitzroy Bluff
At sunset we had dinner overlooking Fitzroy Bluff. What an amazing day!

Back to Broome
Finally, back to Broome via a Charter Flight over adjoining cattle stations and out across the mudflats and ocean.

Viva Cristo Rey.

The Doc reprocessed some images from his first visit to AWC’s Mornington Sanctuary in 2014. It was a Supporter’s Event and it was the second Sanctuary he ever visited. The first was Scotia.

All the buildings were destroyed in massive floods in 2023. The buildings appear in Part 2.
