Easter camp 2010

We set off for Yagon as this is one of our fave camps. I love it cos the beach there is so beautiful and deserted. John was a bit worried all the camp spots would be taken seeing it was Easter and sure enough the camp was packed with young partiers. Luckily though we found a quiet corner and a great spot for our tent.

As we were starting to set up a goanna wandered into our camp. Totally fearless and on a mission for food. I said to John we better keep an eye on Josh as he might be taken for a nutritious snack.

We turned our backs and the next thing we know Josh is being approached by the goanna. No big deal really as we were around, but he was fearless, I tried to shoo him off with a stick but he wouldn't have a bar of it. He was going through our camp whether we wanted it or not.

Then came the cookaburra. It sat right next to John as he cooked our steaks and John said "I'll be! I've never seen them as bold as that". Yeah, he speaks like that, he also says he is feeling "poorly".. Haha what a grandy! When we sat down to eat the cookaburra struck! He flew over and with his strong beak grabbed John's medium rare (he didn't want my welldone steak) and John and he fought over it. John won but the Cookaburra didn't give up. A bit later he attacked again and this time John flung his wine over the table, the steak the bird himself etc. It was so funny. He was totally flustered. Apparently scarred from a young age when a magpie attacked him drawing blood.

On the beach we saw this beautiful crab and this other beautiful crab..
