Saturday 13th December
I went on a
Pennicot Wilderness Journey down to Seal Rocks, off the south coast of Bruny
Island, quite a few years ago, with Nicky, Gavin, Hamish and Angus. The boys were then…very small. Angus was probably about two and a half. He HATED it!
It was quite chilly and windy and he sobbed dismally, until one of us
had the bright idea of putting one of the sturdy raincoats thoughtfully
provided by the crew right over his head.
He subsided quite happily, like a canary being put to sleep for the
night…
I would love to do
another tour. And I am sure Hamish and
Angus would find it all totally thrilling now, without a need to be muffled
under waterproof coating.
This photo was on
Facebook yesterday – WOW!! We didn’t see
any whales, or even a small dolphin, so these people were very lucky. We DID see many seals – fascinating and
lovely they are, but OH so smelly, when you get close to the rocks where they
loll about, digest their fishy dinner, and poo!!!
This morning a bit
of nature on the slopes of Mt Wellington… A flash of white went past the bedroom
window so I crept outside with my camera – and yes the local white goshawk was resting
in a tree.
