Jellyfish, soldier crabs, and kangaroos






Last time I was here, the only kangaroo I saw was dead on the side of the road on the way to Canberra so Dorothy drove all over trying to find one. But first we went to Burrums Head where there was the most incredible driftwood and some great shelling. The soldier crabs make the funky designs and the jellyfish wasn't poisonous! Then we stopped at Akarra Lagoon to see the black swans but there were just a few ducks. Then she took me to see some friends who usually have kangaroos nearby and Dave was able to point us to see some. The large one is the male and the others are girls. Note how they are right there next to civilization. They were good about posing for me. There were four. Dave and his wife Susan have a yellow lab who loves life about as much as Nestle but is much quieter than Nestle. Dorothy has some other friends we were to see and I'm not sure what their dog was because it's something you can only find here. Her name is Riley and she definitely thinks she should get everything in the world because she is so cute. The kangaroo photos will follow in the next blog.
