Maggie Island-watch out for green algae


Echidna Curled Up- she/he heard Scott

Not the best start to the day. We missed our Ferry and when we finally got to Horseshoe Bay it was covered in green algae which smelt FOUL. However, we regrouped and headed on over to Geoffrey Bay. Everyone was going to Alma to swim and play so we scooted on down to the opposite end of Geoffrey under the pine trees and stretched out on the beach for a good 3-4 hours. It was so relaxing to hear the waves and just chill out reading. Scott got to explore the exposed reef at low tide and managed a nice gash in his toe. I was also super lucky to see my second ever Echidna in the wild. Scott was the one who spotted it. So small and spiky, he/she blended in beautifully with the bush. We found it on the walking track that takes you back to Nelly Bay from Geoffrey. I also snapped a pic of two mischievous Galahs!


Inquisitive Echidna

Silly Galahs!
