Rob & Liz's Blessed Adventures

Hi all. Here is the latest update just a short one before we head to the hills for the freezing cold tomorrow. Yesterday we ventured to see the the Killer Whale museum. It was very interesting to learn about the old whaling days that was a main stay of the district in the early days of Australian Settlement down here in Eden. Turns out the the local aboriginal and whale hunters were both assisted by Killer Whales to hunt and kill whales. They worked together to heard up a whale so the killer whales could get the best part of the whale to eat. Given to them by the whale hunters were the lips and tongue. Old Tom Skeleton Old Tom's tooth  Old Tom was a legend here and so after he passed away they created a museum on the killer whales behalf. The killer whales would actually come in the bay to notify the hunters that they had a whale in their sights.

Well, today was mainly suppose to be about fishing... but .. somethings don't always pan out. Mind you we did go fishing. As much as I tried to fish this morning the amazing sea life we found at the Boardwalk here at Narooma was amazing. We first saw a man looking over the edge into the water near our fishing spot so we asked what he was looking at and he said Seahorses! So off went to check it out and yep, 2 of them an orange one and a weedy coloured one. Hard to spot and too difficult to get pictures of. Next some seals came along and gave Lizzy a fright as she hung her feet over near the water. They played and jumped around about us. Next the stingrays came along. 1 then a bigger one after that just cruising up and down.. Then Liz spotted a starfish. She went for a walk to see some other things and I spotted an octopus right below us. This was like a private aquarium!!. As you can see from the photos and videos, the water is crystal clear and looks freezing!! So...
