We stayed at a little motel resort at Alma bay and rented a scooter, well I rented the scooter since Robbie left his license in Laos (what a dork!). So I had to drive it away and then we swapped since I wasn't very comfortable driving on the little island roads.
We ended up going to a secluded beach called Arthur bay.
A nice picnic started our day!
Doing a bit of exploring we found a Bush Stone Curlew (can you see it?)! Maggie Island is one of the best spots for bird watching, we also saw Black and Sulfur Crested Cockatoos, Brahminy Kites, and Bee Eaters to name a few!
We didn't end up snorkeling because a storm the night before reduced visibility and the stingers were out pretty bad and we didn't have stinger suits. We did find a freshwater creek leading to the ocean so we got the best of both worlds!
A cool seat with a view! You can see me to the right at the bottom, relaxing in the freshwater pool, admiring the ocean!
The view from my perspective, not a bad eh?
Robbie meditating on the top of the boulders.
Watching the world go by and the sunset over the mountains. Great day at the beach!
After a long day we built up quite an appetite so we went back to our little resort for a maxed out hamburger! A hamburger with the works here includes lettuce, beetroot, pineapple, bacon, cheese, an egg, tomato, and jalepeños! Quite a mouthfull, it even came with fries (chips)!
We had company while we dined:
A female blue winged Kookaburra! She was feasting on the bugs the lights were attracting.
Robbie being so concerned for their wellbeing fed one a chip, she smacked it in half then dropped it...
After dinner we thought it might be nice to go for a little cruise on the scooter.
There were alot of bugs hitting our face as a result of the headlights so we came up with a solution!
(actually it was a bit impractical so we endured the onslaught of protein)
We ended our little holiday with yet another cruise in the morning and look what we found!
A Rock Wallaby!!!
This trip was heaps of fun and I can't wait until I go back and explore even more!!!!
