We awake and one of us ask's the other, "So, how do you clear your head the morning after" I reply, "By Snorkelling!" So it's before 10am and not only are we on the road, one of us is on the wagon.......... However by chance, we come across a group of Eagles and Crows feasting on something beside the road, having been told that Wedge Tail Eagles can kill if you hit then in a fast moving vehicle because they will easily come through the windscreen, we stop, bail out and cause huge consternation to the one and only other vehicle on the road, he had to go around us on an empty road........
After testing ones stalking skills again and finding they had not improved, we move onto the blow holes, which really need no explaining, unless of course you are the driver that had to drive around us............
Our ultimate destination is one kilometre further along the road and wow, not only did it clear her head and nose, a picture she refuses to let me publish, she was smiling more than me. We spent an hour and ten minutes swimming with the fishes before we found out about the reef sharks that also swim these same waters........ Don't worry Kathleen, I was perfectly safe, Julie was furthest from the beach........ Then as the tide turned we saw a flock of birds diving into the shallows snapping up the fish who had just been smiling at my camera, two of which were Albatross, so all in all we all had a great day, we'll all bar some of the fish........
Then to cap the day off we returned to the 'CLOSED' one mile pier, the longest in Western Australia apparently, to take the statutory sunset picture, of which there will be more, as someone took a better picture than me...........
Update: Someone is feeling better, as I bought her a book this morning on Birds of Australia, she has just spent 30 mins looking through it to find out that the local man who has been in these parts for 20yrs, who told me the large bird was an Albatross, was wrong, it's a Pacific Gull.......
