Amity...mmmmm.... what a delicious place..... the water is so many shades of blue/azure/etc...... we are staying for a week in a lovely spot with water views from our bedroom in the big tent! A short walk from our site is a camp kitchen with electricity outlets - which we are using lots. I cannot believe how much time it takes me to do the blog, organize the photos, etc..... Thank goodness today it very windy so we are lying low. Perhaps we will drive over to the Point Lookout for a fish and chip lunch!
On Monday paddled over to Peel Island in Noodle - we did get some help over in a very light SE wind so we could sail but returning was quite hard, even in the light wind because one just had to keep paddling, nowhere to hide in a lee, but it was a great thing to do - only a couple of kilometres but it seemed like a long way.
We also went for a walk through an area where one can see the vegetation of the island - really good to see the variety of plants and lots of mushrooms growing.
Yesterday Christian was fishing and caught a squid for lunch and had a cormorant steal his fish! and then a dolphin stole another. Last night because of the lights on the jetty one could see the dolphins coming in and chasing and steeling the fish off the lines! The water was so clear, a large stingray came by also. There a koalas in the trees here in the park and lots of birds, including curlews, like a very small emu, that have an extremely loud call during the night! One can complain about people keeping one awake but not birds.
Also we have many french (according to Christian, because they have a black top head) birds come by wearing their berets! They are some sort of wader with white body, grey wings and long yellow legs. We have been seeing them on the beaches all the way.
More soon, having trouble changing some of the photos but I will keep trying........
