A Bush Stone-Curlew and a couple of Wallabies

That evening, after spotting all sorts of creatures outside our rooms, kookaburras, wallabies and curlews, we had a lovely buffet meal and then it was quiz night! None of us are particularly good at quizzes so we weren’t expecting to win, but we have a few brain cells between us so didn’t expect to do too badly either… I think we managed one point out of 25!! The questions were so stupid though, and we weren’t the only ones to leave at half time because we just couldn’t take any more! One example was “How long does it take for food to be digested after swallowing it?” And it wasn’t multiple choice! There were about 10 questions about kangaroos, so unless you were a knowledgeable Australian, you would struggle!
We walked back along the beach which was wonderful, there were flying foxes (fruit bats) flying about everywhere, and there were loads of fish in the shallow waters of the sea. I even spotted some baby white tip reef sharks, they were only about 40cm long but were skulking around just like their parents would. A guy fishing a few metres away confirmed they were sharks and that their parents all were at Long Island not long ago to give birth in the calm shallow waters so that their babies would have more chance of survival – maybe they pick off a few children for dinner!
