Lookout 2: Wedge Island where we sit on the beach later

With lookouts one and two conquered, we gaily walked on admiring the beautiful scenery. It was at this point that our naive happiness was significantly dampened; we bumped into two young boys. This alone was not the problem, it was the words they uttered as they passed us, “Hey, we’ve just seen about 10 snakes up that path”, gesturing in the direction of our walk, that struck fear through us. Initially Andy thought they were messing about, so we laughed and asked how big, “about to that tree” (tree was about 1.5 metres away). We stood there after they left us and convinced ourselves that it was a big wind up, and that they were evil boys sent to scare us. However, I was made to go first just in case.
