A walk or two.


Hi lovelies,

Another gorgeous day here.  

This morning we did our civic duty and voted.  Saves the long line on Saturday. 

We then ventured up the coast just a little do the first of 2 walks we had planned for the day.  

 
The first walk was the Ken and Audrey Owens Walk to Redhead Beach.  It was along a boardwalk and was quite lovely.

We could hear lots and lots of birds, but did not see to many.


 These “Dalek” style structures were along the walk.  Anyone know what they are for?



The walk runs through the back of the dunes along the coast line and then finishes at Redhead Beach.

 


The beach was nice, and the cliff at the northern end was quite stunning.  Anyone else see a craggy old man, much like Gargamel from the Smurfs.



 
From there we walked back to our car, and then travelled to the Belmont end of the Fernleigh Track.  Little did we know this was on the same street where we had voted earlier.

The Fernleigh Track is an old railway track that goes from Belmont to Adamstown. 


The track is 15km long and not a circuit, so that is a 30km walk.  We thought just a small part would do us today. 


 The path is paved and while walking and we met a number of other walkers and bike riders. 


Again the birds were very vocal, and this time we were fortunate to catch glimpse of this little one.


One of the funny things was that the fence line along the track is adjusted to keep the trees outside the track path.





There was a bit of a debate over what was living in this structure up in a tree.   


 It was then off to the supermarket to grab sustenance for the week and back to the van.


Robbie had an afternoon nap and I caught up on some letter writing.
All for now lovelies

 Hi all, Here a brief overview of our 2 day adventure on Fraser Island with Fraser Island Explorer Tours. Here is a link to our trip in video format.  https://youtu.be/QY8tr093G4o We were picked up from our accommodation by our tour guide who then picked up some more of our group and headed to the barge to go across to the Island. It was very smooth no seasickness this time :) We got on the 4x4 wheel bus and headed inland to Lake Mackenzie. This was a very picturesque spot. The water was very cool and the sand as white as we've seen it. After this we headed to Central station , the old tree clearing head quarters. Next we headed for Lake Wobby which was a 45 min trek in and 45 out across lots of sand. It sits on a big sand-blow which will eventually disappear. A small fresh water lake with a couple of cat fish in it. Then off to our accommodation for the night. The next day we headed out to run the beach pretty much all day heading all the way up to Champagne Pools. We eventua...
