2011 Happenings - the main happenings this year involved the new boat - see Yachtshots, and a little travel

  • Tangalooma Island Wild Dolpin Resort
  • Nice place to visit for a couple of days
  • Resort could use a facelift - especially the food area. Menu could use a facelift too. Food is a little pricey. Dolphin feeding is OK, but there were heaps of people doing it - so it was a bit rushed, and regimented.

Kurnell

  • Kurnell - Botany Bay National Park
  • despite the oil refinery and desalination plant, there is still a rather lovely area of bush on the headland, one of those hidden gems in Sydney, just don't go when there is a football match on as the traffic is appalling!
  • We went to see the Whale watch Deck but couldn't get near it
  • everyone else had the same idea! So we went to one of the picnic areas instead.
  • We did see whale "blows" but too far out to sea to see without serious binoculars!

Our Back Yard 2011


    Press play to watch the possum video

When possums are attacked

  • Keep your eyes on the bottom of the tree - the crows / ravens attack from the right.
  • The possum was higher up the tree, but by the time I got my camera, it had dropped down below the fence. A longer zoom would have helped as well!
  • I don't know what had provoked this attack.
  • One crow / raven kept pulling the possum's tail and one attacked its head. I felt very sorry for the possum! It still ended up climbing the tree after the crows had gone.
