Fingal Head

A slowish morning today, which was nice. Once we eventually got moving, we headed to the Fingal Head lighthouse, which is just off Diamond Beach. Not a big walk, but a nice one through the bush, until I looked down about halfway there and saw the tail of what was 100% a snake slithering away, about 30cm from my foot. That put me on edge for the rest of the walk, mostly concerned for Pup, he'd be oblivious and wouldn't even notice. We got to the lighthouse, took some photos and looped around the path along the rocks. We thought it was odd that they didn't have a fence up around parts of the walk, but there was a lot of signage about upgrades coming soon. The walk back was stressful, especially when old mate the snake decided to show back up, luckily it had zero interest in us and was heading away. It was just so surprising considering the amount of people we passed in each direction. It definitely wasn't bothered, but I was, my heart was bloody racing.Read more
