Dampier Archipelago
Russ Hobbs
 
The 2008 trip to Dampier, led by Phil Evans, was a great success. The weather was kind and we all saw heaps of wildlife. Even better was the company, with a highlight being great conversation around the dinner patch. Below is a selection of photographs. A full trip report will appear in the next Newsletter.
