Saturday 11th September 2021 – Wednesday 15th September
We are having a little rest for the next five days as David had his 2nd injection today. We did some shopping, rested and I had a lovely swim at The Sheraton Mirage Country Club. For the rest of the week we have had lovely weather, we have rested, read, swum, walked and just enjoyed ourselves. For all in lockdown we hope you can enjoy the small freedoms that are coming your way soon. Take care and stay safe!

- Four Mile Beach on patrol..
-
- ..they have a few extra critters to worry about on their patrols..
-
- Sand bubbler crab
-
- Grabbing sand with their tiny claws, the filter-feeding Sand Bubbler Crab eats detritus and plankton bits from the grains. The cleaned sand is rolled into a ball and kicked it off to the side before it gets too big to hold. Soon, the creatures are surrounded by dozens of small spheres.

- Our 3 week roadtrip loop from Port DOuglas to Chillagoe to Karumba to Adel’s Grove Lawn Hill to Riversleigh to Camooweal to Mt Isa to Cloncurry to Cumberland Dam to McKinlay to Richmond to Georgetown to Cobbold Gorge to Pinnarendi Station Forty Mile to Herberton to Port Douglas. Zig zagging from east to west and back again, driving over 40 hours and 3289km. We have had a great time and seen some amazing countryside, wildlife, learned some history and just enjoyed this magnificent country.
