DAY SEVENTY-SIX: The Boulders
Parking in the shade was genius, we managed an extra 45 minutes in
bed which was much needed. The morning went very well, we made pancaked which
actually worked. During the time we cooked breakfast we had another invasion of
insects, March flies. These are blood suckers like mosquito only massive and
they hurt a lot more.
Other than the
flies the day started very well and only got better. We spent the day swimming
in the creek, going back to the van to eat then returning to the creek.
It was lot
quieter today it being Monday. It was tranquil at the most there were 5 other
people in the water. This mode it a lot more likely to see any animals although
all we saw were a few Cormorants. That was until about 10 minutes before we got
out of the water. I found turtles 3.5 meters below the water I took pictures
then we left.
During the day we
had adopted a third, Duncan, he was from Newcastle NSW and had cycled all the
way here. He was very nice and kept chatting to us. In the evening we made
another friend from the north of England but had lived here for 35 years.
As we went to
brush our teeth I saw something hopping in the distance I took some pictures
but it is carp in the dark so I can't tell what it was but I'd guess it was a wallabies.
But as I walked back to the van I saw a Quol a large possum.
