23
degrees at 8.30am with the sun shining but still a few clouds hanging around.
Ordered
our postal vote form online for the March Cairns elections. Purchased some
airbag things for the truck.
Steve
went down to try for another squid but the wind has come up and has churned up
the water so no takers.
Our
new neighbour gave us some fresh cherry tomatoes and grapes she just got from
her sister’s farm nearby – delicious. Had lunch then went for a walk along the
beach to Bluff Beach. A lot more houses here than we realised.
We
are following the Walk the Yorke signs along the beach.
Climbed
up the stairs to the houses and checked out the history signs. Great old
photos.
Learnt
about ‘Davits’ – that is the name of the street too. The only land-based boat
storage system in the Southern Hemisphere.
More
info about the storm of 1954.
Rested
on the chair installed on the point as part of the Yorke Walk. Looking south.
Walked
back around to the boat ramp to get a better photo of what’s left of the
Davits.
The
caves the ladies rested in back in the old days.
The
Hooded Plover that breeds in the dunes – there are signs everywhere about them.
Walked
back through the first camp area and found three vans parked there. One from
Mackay, another Melbourne and the other chap was from Port Lincoln way – we
chatted to him on Marion Bay wharf the other day.
Back
to the van for a cuppa and the wind is flapping everything around so started to
pack up to head off tomorrow morning. Wind has blown all the clouds away too.
Relaxing
afternoon reading a new book. Our neighbour brought over ‘Nuts and Bolts’ for
us to try – Nutragrain and peanuts coated with curry and mustard – very nice.
Got the recipe so I can make some. Chatted with her and the Dutch lady for a
while.
Tried
to reach Dan again – wish he would get his phone fixed!! Rang Jon for a chat
too. Rang Wendy too. So nice to be able to ring and chat with everyone so
easily.
Wind
settled down as we watched a movie.
