This morning we packed up the motor-home and set off further down the track to Yardie Creek to go for a hike on the Yardie Creek Gorge Walk. While not managing to get to the very end we ventured far enough to enjoy some spectacular views down the gorge. The sheer red cliffs seem to be a nesting place for Ospreys and there were a few circling around overhead while we were there. Down below a small boat with outboard motor made it's way up the creek as we watched from above. After returning to our campsite at Osprey we then went for a snorkel off the beach. Once again we experienced magnificently coloured fish and abundant coral once we had located the bommies. Sue took a little convincing to come out further with me but once she did she wasn't disappointed. We even saw small stingrays buried in the sand and if memory serves me right a turtle swimming parallel to the beach. Back on land we had the first opportunity to use our solar shower with the newly purchased pump and shower head - it worked a treat and we were both able to wash ourselves using only small amounts of water. Once again this evening we had drinks at happy hour with George and Donna and another couple Jim and Karen. Then for dinner I cooked a steak on our Weber Baby Q while Sue prepared the rest. What an excellent day.
