A few pictures of our weekend away
our transport to the island
long shadows....
sand so fine that it squeaks when you walk on it....
flame lilies at the beach side....
sunsets.....
real live treasures.....
historical graveyards
(the island was once a quarantine station and one boat arrived with typhoid on board - 26 died on the island)
outdoor privy/dunny/toilet - the tide would come up and wash it clean!!
the island is sand .... this stone work was built by convicts....
magnificent views....
.... we watched a rescue - a boat hit the rocks and sunk - three people had to be rescued....
these lifeguards do an amazing job
the brown lake... fresh water in the middle of the sand island.... lots of little fish in there - can you see them?
more real live treasures... this beauty was over a metre long
magical moments... a dolphin came to investigate Hubz - I hope you can see the fin and shape under the water
birdlife... these were funny - they thought if they kept nice and still I wouldn't notice them.... just made it easier to get a picture!
no stitching done
