After
taking as many pics as we pleased back in the Bundy Kegs cooperage, it was getting
desperately close to the next meal time for my delicate body and so we decided
we would head up towards the coast again for a pretty stretch of beach at
Bargara. It's not a huge place by any standards and we entered it near enough
in the middle where we accidently stumbled across a restaurant come motel, come
hotel, come hostelry called Kacy's.
It was a delightfully pleasant place fully equipped with its own
wine cellar and the food was good too. And with a choice of comfortable
surroundings both indoors and outdoors, we chose to sit inside by a large fish
tank (more photos hopefully and having seen the tank shots, maybe not) and as far as we are concerned, it comes highly
recommended to any would be venturers.
Having
refuelled for the afternoon, we headed straight across the road for a small but
charming gift shop having gotten in the mood of dressing the hat. Unfortunately
for the hat though there was nothing in the line of pins or other appropriate
adornments. So the hat was in a mood and left in a huff.

Shame
that, because having left the shop we strolled over the road to another great
Australian beach, Bargara where even more photos were taken. It was around about now
that with the frequency of photography being undertaken, the photographs we
took actually began to look something half decent (if you still exclude the fish tank back in the restaurant).
We were
on a roll (photographically at the very least) now and so travelled further up the beach to a place called Mon Repos, a turtle breeding area along with its own information centre. And
although we didn’t get to see any turtles (mainly because it wasn’t early or
late enough) we did manage to see some stunning scenery without the need of travelling
too far to get it. All we did was follow the pathways to the beach set up
specifically for night parties to go down and see the hatchlings run for cover.

I know
it must seem silly to many to have travelled so far and not stayed to
capitalise but there is one thing you must learn about Jodie’s mother and step
father… Being as they live in a really rural area, they have spent the majority
of their lives living under the sun which means rising and falling along with it. And as we had previously arranged to meet them for dinner that day, we
had to rush back at around what felt like 4ish in order for the old biddies to
be bedded down for seven – Bless!!
So you
can guess what happened next can’t you? Yes we returned home to meet the
parents, got a take away instead of going out, stayed up together until ten (wooooo)
and then sat and twiddled our fingers and toes for a couple of extra hours before it
was closer to our normal bedtime. We had to be up early in the morning… for kangaroo hunting (but rgular readers will know that already).
It was needless
to say, six o’clock the following morning and I was already sat adjacent to Clifford,
bombing down the road in an old white Toyota run-around, heading toward an open
paddock where kangaroos were known to gather at such a stupid hour. And sure
enough they were there waiting for me. It would have been nice to say with
their autograph books at the ready, but they were kangaroos dammit. They can’t
read can they? And so with the joeys in the bag so to say, it was back home for breakfast before we packed and set off back for Brissy once again.
Andy is loving his food here :) complains that i am shrinking his clothes...
ReplyDeleteanyways, it is a pity we didn't have longer to show Andy the turtle rookery at night and witness the logger head turtles laying their eggs on the beach... it is truly a beautiful thing to see...
Tiptoes across the beach at night... crunch, squish, squelch, juice
