While you might think this is the setting (devoid of humans) for a Where's Wally ? puzzle , you won't find him here because it is Lake Weslee, Darwin , on the rural estate of agronomist / activist Robert Wesley-Smith . Over the years , Wes, also known as Rural Rebel Rob , because of his long involvement in many causes , has received more mentions in this blog than Wally will ever get on global social media platforms .
Due to rain , the lake is now three metres deep in parts ,and Wes has been in for a dip, disturbing the Magpie Geese and Burdekin Ducks who flew in for Christmas . Wes says it is the first time he has been able to swim in the lake , which disappears in the dry season , before Christmas .
We frequently urge him to check that there are no stray crocodiles about.
