Barn Hill 17th July ~ 3rd August






Our Beach Holiday
Walking, swimming, bird watching, beautiful sunsets, interesting rock formations, Sunday night roasts and entertainment. We are thoroughly enjoying being here and have extended our stay twice.

Wildlife
I love to watch the Brown Boobies each morning on the beach as they dive to catch their fish in the shallows. There are Pied Oyster Catchers with their striking red beaks and lots of Terns and Sea Gulls. White-bellied Sea Eagles use this place for their hunting ground, too. I have also seen a pair of Lesser Frigatebirds on a few occasions flying across the water.
It has been really exciting to watch Bottle-nosed dolphins and whales (I don't know what sort) frolicking in the sea.

Blessings to you all and we will be off to Port Headland next week.

  1. Mum, I had to say it was funny after your comment yesterday about how brown (tanned) you're getting, then loving to watch the brown boobies on the beach...

    Sorry if that offends anyone, but I'm sure Mum will laugh! Very jealous of the wonderful places you're seeing and staying though.

  3. I haven't seen many brown boobies on the beach in Queensland, just plenty of brown snakes in the high grass. Amazing photos Sally, and hardly anyone around, it must be something to fall asleep under the canopy of the stars and wake to the sound of bird call.

    It really is a wonderful adventure! Thanks for sharing.
