Australia wildlife..drive carefully...

---

Spent yesterday snorkelling, on the way back to town found the emu with chicks wandering a few metres just off the road. I think that on the scale of Australian intelligence these are really close to the bottom of the list.

Today Yardie Creek area, walk around the rocks and canyon and then took a boat ride. Osprey nests and birds, wallabies sunning themselves on the sunny rocks. Driving back to town had to stop suddenly for an echidna crossing the road. Very endearing but I wasn't sure if I wanted to get tail ended for it. luckily everything worked out ok and all the other tourists stopped to watch as it buried itself on safer ground.

Just in case that wasn't enough road stories for the day we also saw a mangy looking dingo walking along the middle of the road. we drove slowly around it, certainly not one for the travel brochure.

Bron wanted to explain that she can't receive her emails. don't know why, but she will probably survive a few days unplugged from the matrix.
