Feathers and fins.


Hi lovelies

We did not do too much for the past two days, but what we did do was so exciting.

There were a number of swans visiting the lake over the last few days, and they look so graceful and peaceful.


There are also a number of pelicans at the park, and they are very friendly.

 
Robbie and I did go off fishing yesterday morning.  He caught a few rock cod, 


but this one with the bow tie was pretty cool.  



He was a little worried about if the eel would bite or not.


While he was fishing, we saw a whale breach a couple of times just in front of us.  Alas we did not have cameras on hand to take a photo of it.

We went back up to the Warden Head Lighthouse and did see a couple of others slowly making their way up the coast.

Robbie did manage to catch a legal size fish yesterday back at the lake.

I am not at all certain he caught it as much as it caught itself.  He throws the lines in, puts the rods in the holders on the jetty and comes and sits at back at the van. 


This morning we were heading to Crampton Island, which is only accessible at low tide.  When we arrived, the tide was still a little to high for us to cross, and while we were waiting a local came and let us know that due to the recent rough weather the channel was currently chest high at low tide.  So we decided it was probably not for us. 😊


We headed off to replace my phone, which had a smashed screen.  This has taken all day, and while I have a phone, we are still getting all the apps reloaded.

While waiting we headed back to the lighthouse and were again blessed with some whales who were playing.  It was so exciting.  


This time we had our cameras and the binoculars that I received for Mother’s Day. 

The whales were not quite as close, and Robbie did a great job at getting video and some still shots for us.   
 


They are so beautiful to see.

Please click here if you would like to see a video he has put together.

From there we stopped at the entrance to our park for the bird feeding. 
This young man keeps visitors entertained until feed time. 



 I am not sure why he likes trying to stand on his head.


There were hundreds of birds sitting in the trees waiting for feed time. 



For some reason today they decided not to come down out of the trees to take the feed from our hands.  A large group of galahs did decided to attack the seed that was spread by the park workers.


All for tonight lovelies.  We are heading back to trying to get my new phone to work. ☹

Stay safe and keep enjoying life.

Love us.

 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...

Three days in the snow.

Hi lovelies, We have had the most amazing 3 days at the Perisher Valley Snowfields. Warning this is a very text heavy post.  Photos are limited, you cannot take many while you ski/board.  Robbie will have a video soon. On Monday we headed up just for a drive and to see what was around.   The day was perfect.   Not too windy and bright and sunny. We parked at Bullock Flats and caught the Skitube to Perisher.   This is really the best way to get there.   Nice highway all the way, and while the train is a little expensive at $55.00 per head return it is preferable to an extra hour drive on roads that may be a little less than ideal.   There is also only limited parking at Perisher so the train is the way to go.   We had a bit of a look around Perisher before heading off to Blue Cow, again by Skitube. It was so lovely to wander around.      We were thankful that we hired boots as it wa...
