Holidays
Holidaying in Mooloolaba at the moment. Saturday we've got a wedding to attend. But today we went up to Noosa Heads. I've been to Noosa plenty of times before but today was just magic - not just the weather. We saw manta-rays swimming in the water at the national park. They were like frolicking in the surf off the rocks. One big one and three little ones, like a mother and her babies, perhaps. No point in getting photos of it - when we clambered down the rocks to get close enough, some snorklers came up and the rays got scared off. I've heard that divers find that they are actually curious creatures and come right up to you underwater. After watching their antics in the surf today I'd believe that.
We also saw quite a number of brush turkeys - and a couple of brush turkey chicks too scratching in the dirt atop of daddy's big mound (the male hatches the eggs by burying them in a big mound of mulch). In the sand dunes right on the end of Hastings Street (Noosa's main drag)!!! Didn't catch any of the big goannas that beg scraps off the picnickers in the park though.
Sydney prices everywhere - especially real estate. Two million dollar penthouse units and stuff. And some people who poison native trees that block their view - such ugly people don't deserve such beautiful surroundings.
