    Nature Tour part 1........

    March 5 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 21 °C

    After our couple of hours on the beach yesterday we woke to find that we had been dinner for the sand flies. We also discovered last night that we had another full day tour today on the nature trail from 08:00 until 17:00.
    We gathered on another beautiful morning and got on the minibus and Adam our tour guide for the day outlined what he had planned for us and to be honest when we heard our anticipation mounted. On our way out we spotted a Wallaby who Adam reckoned was either blind or disorientated as normally these animals are not around as they are nocturnal. He managed to shoo the small animal off the road and into the bush where hopefully he wouldn't become the breakfast for the couple of eagles we saw further up the road. 90 minutes later we arrived at our 1st stop of the day a little place called Seddon and home to several Koala bears.
    After the Koalas we headed up to Karatta an area the was devastated during the 2019 Christmas bush fires 🔥 that lastedvover several weeks and killed an unknown number of wild animals, 32,000 farm and domestic animals and 2 people. They still have a number of trees on site that were damaged by the fires as the trees burned from the inside!!!
    After our break we headed out to Flinders Chase and the Remarkable Rocks 🪨. These unique shapes and formations are a testament to the forces of nature at work over millions of years.
