Coochie Mudlo Island, starting 7am with the Gaiter Girls.
Coffee and cake followed at the Curlew Cafe, before taking the ferry back to to Victoria Point in time to watch the very poigiant movie "Choral".
Wednesday 14 January
The Hungry Hikers - Tinchi Tamba Wetlands, north side of Brisbane. Another 7am start to beat the heat and sweat!The tranquil Pine River borders the wetlands.
Spotting the roos! Overall these kangaroos were much bigger and some quite intimidating. Their numbers appeared to be much smaller, but they were hiding. So different to last week.
This was our 4th visit to these wetlands and this spot is definitely a photo stop! The tide was in, unlike previously.
It being summer holidays, we had great difficulty finding a table to sit at.
A very special couple of days with my friends.
I would love to read your comment.
Thank you for all the lovely comments on my previous post. This past 5 days have been hectic, helping my cousin organise the Kyogle Giant Pumpkin and Watermelon festival. More of that in my next post.
ReplyDeleteYes, our native wildlife is very special and we never tire of seeing them.
Do kangaroos ever attack? Do you ever need to be afraid of them? They are so large! Your photos, some sweet, some silly yet wonderfully amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt is rare and only if they feel threatened. We were very wary of the big guy who held his stance for quite some time before moving on.
DeleteLovely photos of a fun time. Could do with a little of your heat right now.wonderful scenery and great to see the kangaroos. B x
ReplyDeleteVery happy to share the heat if you send some cold.
DeleteA two for one post! And I enjoyed every single moment!
ReplyDeleteWe did too.
DeleteThe environments appear to be so different. Great photos of both.
ReplyDeleteI admire your determination to be out in the heat as you do. I couldn’t do it.
The roos were enormous. One was curious enough to stay around watching. I loved seeing them hop away. They will always fascinate me.
Marie we have grown up with the heat. I can't imagine your wind chill minus 30C that you have at present. The early starts help. The 'curious fellow' was holding his ground. The first time we have ever had to be very wary of a roo.
DeleteYou and your friends take the best pictures! Looks like more fun hikes too.
ReplyDeleteWe all love nature and posing. That said, I'm always left behind, clicking away. I'm sure you understand.
DeleteAs we prepare for a polar plunge and snow this weekend, your scenery looks so inviting. Your kangaroos remind me of deer in our neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are coping with the polar freeze, Kim. Our heat isn't pleasant but far worse over much of Australia. I would love to see fields of deer.
DeleteBeautiful photos, ❤️ Helen. Thank you so much for sharing this lovely tour.
ReplyDeleteGlad you have enjoyed the tour, Linda. I hope you are coping with all the snow.
