Today, Sunday 25th May seemed like a good day to attempt a walk (for only fit people) to Andrews Point. It would be a five and a half kilometre trek involving a steep ascent up a mountain and back along a beach, at low tide.
Skin decided to hitch a ride in his backpack on my backpack because he woke up feeling a little unwell and definitely not fit.
I was taking some photos of the beautiful butterflies fluttering on a clump of colourful plants......
WHEN.............
ONE LANDED RIGHT ON SKIN'S HEAD!
We set off up the mountain that had steps that looked as though they would take us straight up to Heaven.
UP AND UP AND UP ....
We finally reached the summit and the view was spectacular.
This is the beach below. Can you spot the boat and trailer?
The mountain changed from damp, musty smelling rainforest and vine forest to an open eucalypt forest with a grassy understorey.
We reached the beach without seeing any snakes. I had been secretly fearing I would come across one, but didn't tell Skin in case he panicked!
As we strolled, and in Skin's case 'rode', along the edge of the water, we discovered that tiny sand bubbler crabs had left intricate patterns all over the sand.
Can you see a picture in this pattern?
Skin decided to try and write his name again as he has been practicing his spelling over the past few weeks.
WELL DONE SKIN!
Another adventure in a quiet, unobtrusive corner of Australia where luckily banana's are made to feel welcome as guests!
