Surat Bay, Catlins

---

Wildlife more prevalent.... sea lions (3 on our walk this morning), seals, spoonbill, Bellbird, fantails etc etc.
Sea lions have habit of covering themselves in sand and lying very still.... we had quite a fright as we tried to get from the beach back up to the dunes over the rocks, nearly walked right over one! Blimey did she roar, but not as loud as my scream!
Yet another beautiful bay... pics won't do it justice!

Earthquake?!
Not sure where you are in relation to the quake, hope you're both safe x

Are you both ok?
Hi, Just been reading about the earthquake and tsunami in NZ. We're now worried about you - when you get a chance, please let us know that you're ok. Julie and Simon xx

All safe ... thanks for concern
Details of damage further north still emerging. But we are OK here south of Dunedin
