Sunday 24th February 2008-
Penguin Island was our destination for today. After a nice picnic on the mainland we set off with Elise's kayak, and snorkelling gear and waded across to the island (takes approx 20 minutes and the water doesn't get any higher than shoulder height). When we arrived at the island we first went snorkelling (I saw Gar fish & Derek saw some huge purple fish!). After that we had a short walk and saw a nesting colony of pelicans on a hillside and on the beach in a cave we saw a seal resting! Coming home Derek, Drew & Elise swam/waded & I took the kayak. Halfway back I saw a large dark shape swimming under the water in front of the kayak, was hugely relieved when it went past & came up for air as I realized at this point it was a dolphin (not a shark!!). Ended our day with fish n'chips at Rockingham, hurrah!
