Not too many postings of late due to the constant flow of visitors and the school holidays. Things are calming down now and with morning tides, we are getting up early and going to one of our favourite bays for a swim. Usually there is nobody else there but the wildlife - yesterday we were treated by a walk-by, by two black and white Australian magpies - far more beautiful and less foreboding than their British counterparts, with the most haunting call.
We turned the corner to see a long black goanna sashaying across the sand of about a meter long. Tracks showed that there were a pair lurking, along with some wallabies.
Whenever I go into town, I curse the 40 minute drive back but when we meet animals like this, along with being able to live in such an amazing location, I really think its worth it.
