Oct 8. Deep 'boop, boop, boop' drew me. Brush turkey shit on me. Saw Pheasant Coucal in low scrub. Black head, body and long tail. Roufous wings. Went back to car to clean up. Coolum Grey Butcherbird. Three large kangaroos grazing. Sail Mooloolaba. Stiff wind and we darted around the course. Last leg spinnaker sometimes surfing to 15 knots.
Oct 9. Cool cloudy quiet day. Pleasant but. Went to library, walked on beach. Sailing Saturday in first of season series. Then I must consider the start south.
Oct 10. White Goshawk. Grey and orange beak. Big black eyes. Powerful talons. Wandered suburbs. Buderim. Kangaroos. National Park by freeway. Trash at entrance. Pretty walk. Flat sandy. Another cool day.
Oct 11. Sailing. Different boat. Light winds. Mother and calf breaching 100 meters. Sailed under cloud to get pressure. All good.
Oct 12. Relaxation. Resting in Noosa Nat Pk. Quiet support. Called Paul at website. He seems to be working this out. My email may be [e-mail] Not sure yet. This could work out. Noosa. Noosa. Sunshine Beach. Woman came up and said her boyfriend said to get a sticker when she saw me. I love that. Radio interview to be taped tomorrow. Picked up heaps of trash. Its a hobby, a pastime, exercise, meditation and spiritual act. I love it when its clean. Met guy the other day who picked up trash. There are lots of us. An army of grey nomads would be a good starting point.
Oct 13. Casual day in the park. Sailor got a burgee for his boat at Coffs Harbour. went to Tewantin for 101.3 community radio interview to air next Tuesday. Top spruik Tewantin.
