We made it to....Angourie?
Finally, we left and had just made it out of the Byron Bay Shire, when Nici got a call also see, People we've met travelling australia asking if she'd be first AD on a short film. Now the deal is, Nici's work comes first, so we decided to stop in Angourie for a few days, whilst Nici went back to Brisbane to shoot this short film. Our friends Biddy and Rookie live in Angourie, and as it was Biddie's birthday, we were going there anyway... but lucky for us they were going back to France and allowed us to stay at their place checkout, The Fish ate my rash for another week.
Angourie is nice, but a bit limiting if the weather try, The Fish ate my rash is shite, and you aren't a keen surfer, and you are ca r- less. With nici gone with the car, I did schoolwork with kids, we made rock castles on the beach, we explored rock pools, we swam in the blue try, Link Footer pool. The Blue also see, Resources Directory Pool is a man made quarry style pool right beside the ocean. Its deep, it can be cold, also look at, Our Caravan - 2003 Goldstream Sovereign its full of little fish have a look at, Barrossa valley-the land of Wine and Port and its major fun to jump into from the many natural consider, Contact us at Travel Here platforms. I've jumped from the very top a few times, but not this time. Too scary to do it with too little kids here relying on me.
Ayesha jumped in from about 3 meters, and Orlando did too from about 50cm. Both, were very excited.
We went rockpooling at the North end of Shelley Beach, and it was awesome. Halfway between low and high tide.... there was a plethora of old favourites. Little fish, try, Yarongabilly Caves crabs, those funny anemone things with the red fronds that close up when you touch them.... but also some stuff we'd never seen before.
There was a bright blue fish have a look at, Resources Directory that looked like it would be at home have a look at, Outskirts of Adelaide. Lake Alexandria and Handorf. in a tropical fish have a look at, Barrossa valley-the land of Wine and Port exhibit. Its fins looked more like decorative plumes than fins and it swam more like a butterfly than a fish. also look at, Link header There were plenty of large fish have a look at, Our Caravan - 2003 Goldstream Sovereign in one pool, fish also see, The ate my rash more than 25cm long - no idea what they were, possibly Australian Salmon.
To top it all off, there was an Octopus, who was most concerned about our presence. He was not small, probabl5 35 cm from the tip also look at, Dubbo - flashbacks to a previous holiday of his head to the tip also look at, Our Car - 2004 Nissan Patrol 3litre Turbo Diesel STL of his tentacles, and he was a fast mover. One moment pretending to be invisible, the next, shooting off as he realised we could see him. He escaped through a crack in the rock pool, into the ocean.
It was nice to doodle around just them and me for a few days, but Angourie would not keep me entertained for very long I expect if I lived there.
