This lot of fishy photos we took at Nelson Bay, NSW. We took them at a dive location called Halifax Marine park. It is an easy shore dive where you park your car right there where you suit up from you car and walk a few steps into the water and swim a few metres and there is Bluey and octopus and moray eels and wobby gongs and turtles and pretty fish and hundreds of nudibranchs. Top of tide only and very easy. Caravan park right there also (Halifax Holiday Park)

 This is Bluey, he was the friendliest Blue Grouper.











 
 This is me and Bluey checking out the sea urchant that he would love to eat if only I would cut it open for him. He did ask me nicely.

This is Derek playing with the fish. Notice the yellow Moray Eel heading towards his right arm. He had no idea the eel was there, they mostly are very timid creatures and stay in the rocks, hidden.

This is a pretty fish. I haven't looked up what it is called yet, but I do like it.

This is a Wobby Gong (Carpet Shark). They hang around on the bottom.

We have moved the bus down to the caretaker's spot, where we are out of the way and a little more private. We are now on grass and under a few trees but solar panels still get the sun, so all good.

 This is the view from the club house's front veranda. That is why we try to spend at least 3 hours each day up here. It is also the only spot where we get phone and internet service. Hard to take view, isn't it!
These lovely flowers have come out on the four trees that grow on each corner of the club house block. The flowers are only around the botton of the trees due to the parrots nipping off the buds from the rest of the tree.

Derek is reading this series of books on his Amazon Kindle. He is now up to book 13, "Towers of Midnight".

The Viking has a name, Green'n'Gold.

 Kookaburras out here are very friendly

Home is where the Kookaburras roam.

I gave in and fed him a little bit of meat.

It is better than watching him slap around a green tree frog and hearing the poor frog screaming for help.

This is Lake Maraboon on Sunday evening. Simlpy lovely

 This is Virgin Rock, just north of Springsure on the way to Emerald in Qld. The road was blocked so we couldn't go up there. We did continue on to Springsure for lunch but was very disappointed to find that the only pub does not do Sunday lunches so we continued down the street to the cafe the pub manager recommended and also said was the only place open on Sundays for food. I ordered Caesar salad with chicken @ $13.95. What I got was a normal size soup bowl filled to the top only with the standard Caesar salad stuff (no croutons as per request) and 5 pieces of bread looking things with chicken flavouring. This was the only Gluten free choice on the menu board as all the rest was crumbed and deep fried. The cook had to read the frozen bag to tell me that it was mostly wheat. It was advertised as chicken pieces. Not!!!


Now for something a little more calming.

This is a little family of ducks that live next to us at the lake. 11 babies at last count. How cute are they!

This shot is now on our wallpaper on our big laptop.

We took it on Sunday after all the boaties had left for the weekend. Scroll down for the last bit of sunshine shot.

Silver road to heaven.

I am looking into the healing practise of Reiki.

I have read two books on it so far and I think it is worth learning. 

I have not read this one but it next on my list.
